How to put "send to desktop" in send to
At one time I had the option to send something to the desktop but just noticed I no longer have that option when I right click on something. I have lots of options but that isn't one of them. How can I get that option back into my send to?

Hi MistyStar,
I'm sure someone will be along shortly with the reg hack, but here's what I do to add anything to the 'Send To' menu: simply drag and drop it in C:\Windows\Send To (in Windows Explorer).

Got it back and thanks to all of you for the help. All of your suggestions were great and I have copied them down in the event I loose it again. Don't know how I lost it in the first place.
I love this forum as I have always gotten great information and help.
Thanks again,
Misty
