This user does not log in, there is only one user, and Search reveals only one Sendto folder. That's located in the username folder in Docs and Settings. Seems the logical one to configure. Which made me think, maybe there are some Admin rights hidden somewhere, with maybe a "hidden" Sendto folder. But if so, how do I access it? And why wouldn't the XP help file say so? Unlikely, as XP was custom installed by a very experienced tech for my friend. I can't see why he would have created any hidden Admin rights. Or is this an automatic thing with XP, whether you want it or not? How would you log on to Admin, when no menu presents itself at bootup---and no password? Maybe it's a glitch in his XP? And there was I, thinking that XP was at last the perfectOS. Foolproof and crashproof. Incidentally, if I open the Sendto folder, and click the shortcuts which I've placed there, the selected folders open OK. Don Penlington.
