Problem - Win7 64bit Context [Send to]

[tecknomage]

I have a brand new, custom built, Win7 64bit rig

Problem:

When I use the context menu [Send to] it ONLY shows [Documents] and all my drives

When I go into my User profile (using SHELL:SENDTO or navigating) my full list IS there.

Is there a way to make Win7 refresh or see my full Sent To list?

Your reference does not apply.

Done that, but does NOT fix. Like I said, the list of programs ARE in my [Send to] folder.

Hello tecknomage, and welcome to Seven Forums.

As a test, press and hold the Shift key while right clicking on the item, release Shift, then click on Send to to see if everything is there.

Hello tecknomage, and welcome to Seven Forums.

The only thing that does is show my User Start Menu list.

The programs listed my my [Send to] folder are still NOT there.

It just occurred to me.

I check the [Send to] folder for the [Default] User. Sure enough, that is what I'm getting.

In other words I get the [Default] User [Send to] instead of my account's User [Send to].

BUT, copying the contents of my User [Send to] does NOT fix the problem.

Looks like a Registry error, but what and how to fix?

For now, go ahead and post some screenshots showing this to see if they may be able to reveal what may be happening.

Does this happen in all locations, or just specific locations?

Attached is a screenshot of my User [SendTo] folder.

Looking at your screenshot, I don't see the full list. Compressed (zipped) folder, Desktop (create shortcut), Fax recipient, and Mail Recipient are missing.

From what is happening I gather that Win7's [SendTo] does NOT work like WinXP. That is, Win7 cannot use shortcuts in the [SendTo] folder.

I'm I correct :sarc:

If what I surmised is true, this is just another example of Microdunce breaking a good thing

Did you add any missing "Send to" items you wanted to the location in my previous post to restore them?

Yes, you could use shortcuts of items in "Send to" to send a file to.

NO. Well, my shortcuts don't work.

The only default one that I left as is is [Documents].

 

[Brink]

Usually it's best to only have folder or drive shortcuts in "Send To" instead of for a program.

OPPS: In my [SendTo] folder there was a shortcut for Notepad but it did NOT show in the Context Menu [Send to].

Bingo.

My problem is NOT the missing items you list.

MY PROBLEM IS NOT SHOWING THE SEND-TO ITEMS THAT ARE IN MY FOLDER :banghead:

Send To SendTo

This old trick I got from Leo LaPorte works for me from XP onward. I am on Windows 8.0 and it works fine here.

Go to your SendTo folder, then up one. Select the SendTo folder as shown by the arrow in the first shot, and copy it.



Now double click it to go back into the SendTo folder. Paste it. Rename it
Send To SendTo




Now you can right click any shortcut and select Send To SendTo and it will properly be in the Send To folder

Edit: Note that this only works for shortcuts. If you right click on an exe and choose Send To SendTo it will not work.

You said this before. The missing items you list ARE NOT MY PROBLEM, please do not repeat as a reply to my actual problem.

Steps you stated did NOT work on my Win7 Pro. Refused to paste folder of the same name into the folder SendTo.
