SendTo-Desktop gone missing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

I am using PowerDesk instead of Windows Explorer but I understand this
procedure has to be accomplished through Windows Explorer. My right click
SendTo-Desktop has gone missing. I have looked in the SendTo folders, I have
two of them, one in Default User and one in my name, they both have a
'desktop.ini' file in them of different sizes. What is the problem? Why is
there no option to SendTo-Desktop?

Regards,

Peter Ledden

Try this...

Start | Run | Type: sendto | Click OK |
When the window opens | Right click in the right hand pane |
New | Shortcut | Browse button | click the Desktop icon | OK |
Next button | Type: Desktop (create shortcut) | Finish button

Send To Desktop (create shortcut) command does nothing

Thank you for your trouble, works perfectly. I wonder where the previous one
went?

Peter,

Such are the mysteries of Windows.

As Uncle Bob said, "Workin' on mysteries without any clues".
