[dba-Tech] Send To Stopped Working

John:

New user had all the same stuff as my account.  Same stuff as the laptop on 
which 'Send To' is working.  So I don't think it's in the Sent To Folder. 
Any other ideas?


TIA,

Rocky

>> Rocky,
>> Does Send to WinZip and Email still appear on the shortcut menu?
>>
>> If so go into WinZip | Options | Configuration
>> System Tab:
>> Ensure Associate WinZip with Archives is checked
>> Explorer Enhancements Tab:
>> -Top 3 checkboxes (Under title "General") should be checked. If they are
>> checked, then:
>> uncheck them-click-OK
>> open the same dialog again-recheck them and click OK.
>> (It really does work that quickly on my machine.)
