'Send to' prob with XP

[Andy]

Just noticed that if l right click onto a pic/document with
the intention of sending it, l only get offered the option
to send it to A:\ or E:\ (my writer)

Normally there are quite a few options, ie My docs,mail
recipient etc

Any clues as to what l've messed up would be welcomed

Well it'd be difficult to guess why they're missing, but I can help get
them back.

Right-click on the "My Computer" icon, and press "Explore".
Full-size the window to make it easier to work in.
Expand (Press the + by) your C: drive, then "Documents and Settings" then
"Default User"
Under "Default User" you should see a folder called "SendTo". This folder
contains the Send To menu shortcuts. In here should be Desktop, My
Documents and Mail Recipient, assumedly the three you're missing. Copy them to:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\SendTo

...and the Send To menu should be back to it's former glory. You may have
to close all Windows Explorer windows to effect the change.

You can create shortcuts to any folder in the SendTo folder to get an entry
in the Send To menu if you want!
