Thanks ,but that is my problem there is no path to the sendto folder I get a message path does not exist I need to create a path to sendto folder and I don't know how. I thought I could just put my recovered sendto folder in the right location and that would create the path but windows want let me do that I have tried shell:sendto and %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo but windows keeps telling me the path does not exist.So I am stuck with a sendto folder and no place to put it.I dont know how to fix this problem.Any solutions would be appreciated.

Many Blessings

my send to folder was missing ... I finally found it in Windows Old folder ... This is a new computer.

Tony,

Why does your new computer have a Windows.old folder?
Its existence indicates that something has been done to the computer.
Your SendTo folder problem might be merely one discovered example of something having gone seriously wrong on the computer.

All the best,
Denis
