Comments on: Power Up and Manage Your Windows Send To Menu with Send To Toys http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/power-up-and-manage-your-windows-send-to-menu-with-send-to-toys/ Computer Help from your Friendly How-To Geek Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:17:06 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: me http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/power-up-and-manage-your-windows-send-to-menu-with-send-to-toys/comment-page-1/#comment-71193 me Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:11:41 +0000 http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/power-up-and-manage-your-windows-send-to-menu-with-send-to-toys/#comment-71193 Just fyi for SendTo users new to Vista, MS has once again, in their continued effort to drive every PC user away from Windows, has mucked up SendTo on Vista Explorer (amongst the other billion things they did wrong elsewhere on Vista.) 1) A SendTo subdirectory of shortcuts used to show up as a submenu of the main SendTo menu. No more. Now it shows up as only a SendTo menu item. 2) I just found that selecting more than 4 files at a time will cause Vista Explorer to not execute the SendTo target app at all. Or maybe it's the total length of the command line that's the problem. I gave up trying to investigate further. Sorry for the rant. I'm just sick and tired of wasting hours and hours finding work arounds for these "fixes" and "enhancements" that also take away previously useful functionality.

Sorry for the rant. I’m just sick and tired of wasting hours and hours finding work arounds for these “fixes” and “enhancements” that also take away previously useful functionality.

I'm just a few days into it for the first time, so still learning what got taken away from my XP Pro experience.

The problem you're having with "Default Mail Recipient" is probably due to the fact that you don't have a MAPI compliant e-mail client (like Microsoft Outlook, or Mozilla Thunderbird) installed on your machine and enabled as the default e-mail program.

Right click on the toolbar (Menu bar?) in Win Explorer and Click Customize.(XP32 and XP64, maybe others?) Move the buttons you want by clicking on Add. No third party app required! Makes sense to me?
