Right Click, Send To


Recommended Posts

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?

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.
