[dba-Tech] Send To Stopped Working

Rocky,
Its sounds as if something messed up your registry or personal folder
settings. (I'm assuming you have Windows XP/2000. Windows 9X keeps this info
under Windows\Profile\UserName.)

I'd say the easiest way to get this back would be to create another user
(control panel - user accounts). I'll call it "NewUser".
Then go into Windows Explorer and do Tools | Folder Options [View] - under
Advanced Settings make sure view hidden files and folders is checked then
click OK.

Now navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\NewUser\SendTo and you will see
all of the shortcut menu icons on NewUser's shortcut menu.

Select the items you want on yours and copy them to the C:\Documents and
Settings\Rocky\SendTo folder.

By default XP sets up Mail Recipient, Compressed (zipped) Folder, My
Documents, Desktop(create shortcut) shortcuts for each user. If your NewUser
does not have the necessary items in it let me know because there is
something rotten in SendTo land.

HTH
John B.

John:

Well I'm back to this problem and it turns out it's not unique to WinZip. 
It's the send to mail recipient that's broken.  Any ideas?

TIA

Rocky
