Home edition. When I right click on a desktop icon, or other application,
the rt. click menu opens and seems to work OK except for the "send to"
function. When I drag onto send to it gets highlighted, but no menu opens --
and I can't move off of it. It remains highlighted., and menu freezes.

I have to click on the taskbar to get the menu to disappear.

Help?

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm

Some 'send to' entry is corrupt.

I downloaded ShellExView and used it, but nothing showed up when I followed
procedure as written. I'm afraid to mess with the registry.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

This is from the link you provided:

HKCR\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Is it a valid "path". I can't find Background. (Shellex doesn't open to
ContentMenu...)

Thanks

If you can't find a fix for registry errors, the olny real alternatives are a new install, or restore from backup. System Restore
would be a good first try.

Dang. I just got rid of a much worse problem -- as a byproduct of something I
did. ;)

So, I don't want to try restore. Maybe I'll just have to live with it.

Thanks

Unbelievable!? Good news/bad news: The rt. click send to menu does appear --
it just takes about 2 minutes. I've tried it many times, since I
inadvertently discovered it was appearing. Any ideas about this?

I'm so glad it's functional, but having to wait 2 minutes? Otherwise
everything is working at normal speeds.

Thanks

There is no sendto on the background menu so it's irrelevent to your problem.

HKCR\AllFileSystemObjects\shellex\ contextmenuhandlers

HKCR\Folder\shellex\contextmenuhandlers

HKCR\Directory\shellex\contextmenuhandlers

HKCR\<ProgID>\shellex\contextmenuhandlers
