Desperately trying to find the "send to any folder" utility (just that
one, not any of the other bits'n'bobs) for Windows ME. Internet
searches have been fruitless so far. If anyone has any pointers, I
would be VERY grateful.
Thanks
Peter

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, after I'd gone hither and thither
between the different info pages and warning pages, and finally
attempted a download, the target did not exist anymore! Oh well.
Thanks anyway.

AFAIK there was never a Sent To Any Folder powertoy for Win Me and that
SendToX in the original Win 95 powertoys set continues to work. The Win
95 Powertoys can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUToys/W95PwrToysSet/Defau
lt.asp
Extract Sendtox.dll and sendtox.inf to your desktop and then install by
right clicking sendtox.inf and then clicking Install.

Do Not use the version of TweakUI included in the Win95 powertoys with Win
Me.

After 50 clicks of the same error message (line 16 run-time error - do
you want to debug?) I had to gracefully retire! Not sure why I got
that (looking at a W95 page when I'm WME maybe?) but thwarted again.
Thanks for trying anyway.

Peter,

I'm sorry but I have no idea to what you are referring. When do you see
this error message? When downloading the Win 95 Powertoys, when
extracting the two sendtox files, when installing SendToX or when using
it? I ask because I did all of those things, that is download, extract,
install and use before posting my reply and saw no error messages
whatsoever and everything worked as intended.

It was when I was downloading the page - the same message kept coming
up and up. I had nothing else running at the time. However, your
message encouraged me to have another go, and....... success! Page
downloaded ok, followed your instructions, and it's installed fine.
Lord knows what that was all about last time! Anyway, a BIG THANK-YOU
for your kindness and help, sir!

Thanks for the feedback Peter and I'm pleased to read that all is now OK.
Sorry about being particularly dense when replying to your last post but I
wasn't clear as to where the problem was that you were seeing. For some
reason I didn't realise you were referring to problems in accessing the
page concerned and thought it was either when installing sendtox or when
using it.

Regards,

Peter,

This may be it.

Copy and paste to the text below to Notepad (from REGEDIT4 to the last
13}"):

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\DOS_Prompt]
@="DOS Prompt"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\DOS_Prompt\command]
@="C:\\COMMAND.COM /K cd \"%1\\\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\DOS_Prompt]
@="DOS Prompt"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\DOS_Prompt\command]
@="C:\\COMMAND.COM /K cd \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMen
uHandlers\Copy To]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMen
uHandlers\Move To]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

After that, save the file with a .REG extension.

BACKUP the registry before merging the file.

Right-click the .REG file you created and select merge.

Restart.

Right-clicking a file or folder should now show 2 extra options: "Copy to
folder..." and "Move to folder...".

Is this what you're looking for?
