Agent Smith Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Where did you actually try to send to madboy? And have you installed Tweakui? It has a knack for messing up some of the send to options.Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Not sure about XP, but in 98 the send to directory is located in c:\windows , have you had a look just to make sure that your directory is still there, and not containing anything strange? It may be a possibility you have managed to accidently save something in there, which is causing the hang.If you leave the system alone for a while, does it finally appear?Mr. M.

bvw Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 In Windows Explorer, when you right-click a file or folder, you may experience any of the following behavior: Any file-copy operation that is occurring at that time may appear to stop responding.Network connection speed may significantly decrease.All streaming input/output operations are degraded. For example, streaming audio over Windows Media Player becomes distorted.CAUSEWhen you right-click a file or folder in Windows Explorer, the CPU usage goes to 100 percent while the shortcut menu is displayed. CPU usage returns to the correct level when the shortcut menu is closed. WORKAROUNDTo work around this behavior, use either of the following methods.Method 1Turn off the transition effects for menus and ToolTips. To do this, follow these steps: Click Start, and then click Control Panel.In Control Panel, double-click Display, and then click the Appearance tab.On the Appearance tab, click Effects.In the Effects dialog box, click to clear the Use the following transition effect for menus and tooltips check box, and then click OK two times.Method 2Click the folder or file that you want (select it) before you right-click it to display the shortcut menu.
