Hi Reese, Below are a couple of ways to do what you need. Take care. Mike Hello Mike, The "mail recipient" menu item should have been added by default to the SendTo menu in XP. You might check to see if it is in the SendTo folder under "default user" or another account on the system and just copy it from the folder under the other user account to the folder in your friend's user account. Navigate into "documents and settings" on the local drive and open a different user account. Press "S" until you find the SendTo folder and press enter to open it. Find the "mail recipient" choice if available and copy it to the clipboard. You can then go back to the user account where the "mail recipient" menu choice was missing and open it. Open the SendTo folder and paste the file from the clipboard. To add "desktop" and "mail recipient" to the SendTo Menu you can do the following 1. Press Windows key with the letter "R" to bring up the Run dialog box. 2. Type "Shell:SendTo" (without the quotes) and press the enter key. 3. Make sure that nothing is selected. Bring up the "file" menu and go into the "new" submenu. Use down arrow to the "shortcut" choice and press enter key. . 4. Use tab key to move to the "browse" button and press spacebar. In the tree structure that appears use up arrow to the top and you should find "desktop." Use tab key to the "OK button and press enter key. 5. Use tab key to the "next" button and press enter. 6. Name the new item with the name you want to have used for the item in the SendTo menu, use tab key to move to the "finish" button and press enter key. A new shortcut is created in the SendTo folder, and it is displayed on the Send To menu. If you can not copy the "mail recipient" choice from any other user account then you can create the menu choice as follows: 1. use windows key with the letter "R" to bring up the Run dialog box. 2. Type in "Shell:SendTo" without the quotes and then press enter key. 3. Go into the File menu and then into the "new" submenu and use down arrow to the "text document" choice. Press enter key on that choice. 4. Rename the text file to Mail Recipient.MAPIMail 5. Answer "yes" when you are told that changing a file extension might make the file unusable . After renaming the file the .MAPIMail extension might be hidden but the "Mail recipient" entry should now be in the SendTo menu. Again, if you can find the "mail recipient" file in another user's "SendTo" folder, copying and pasting it would probably be faster. Take care. Brian Lee [email protected] hello; When you point to Send To on the File menu, or you right-click a file and then point to Send To, the Mail Recipient command may be missing. This behavior can occur if the "Mail Recipient.MAPIMail" file is missing from the SendTo folder. For Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0 and Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0, follow these steps. When the .MAPIMail file does not exist in the Disk:/Documents and Settings/username/SendTo folder, the Mail Recipient command is not shown when you point to Send To on the File menu. 1. Start-menu, type r=Run, type: regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\sendmail.dll and then press OK. 2. Type the following command to reregister, and then click OK: regsvr32 %windir%\system32\sendmail.dll hope this helps your friend. David Whitehead hello there; give these steps a try; This happens if the file Desktop (create shortcut).DeskLink is missing from the SendTo folder for your user account. recreate the missing file, and the corresponding Send To menu entry. 1. Click Start, 2. r=Run and type: regsvr32 sendmail.dll 3. Press Enter. I hope this helps your friend. David Witehead Hello Mike, Copying the desktop (as shortcut) choice from a different user's SendTo folder and pasting it in the SendTo folder of the user's account where you want it should work. Otherwise, I am quite sure that when you use the regsvr32 sendmail.dll command to register the MAPIMail DLL that the "desktop (as shortcut) will also be restored. Also, in my last message I mentioned about adding "desktop" as a location in the SendTo menu. When you do it using the method I mentioned, you can name the shortcut "desktop (as shortcut)" (without the quotes) if you want to. However, when you browse to the desktop choice in the tree structure you are choosing it as the destination for the shortcut and when you send a file using that choice in the SendTo menu, the item will go to the desktop. Take care.

On the applications menu, in the sent to menu, there's suppose to be an entry called mail to. You (enter) and it launches your default email program. this lets you send attached files this way. However, this entry is now missing. Is there anyway of restoring this back to the sent to menu? Thanks!
