SendTo Desktop (create shortcut) Missing

[MrWhispers]

I have no clue what setting I touched in NTLite but now I don't have SendTo > Desktop (Shortcut) Any longer.

Does anyone know how to fix I tried to copy the actual file from a VM and it did not work.

No clue how to re-enable this feature, but I would like to because I use it frequently.

If anyone has any 411 on this please respond.

its just a command not a feature check here https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/117222-change-send-desktop-create-shortcut-icon-windows.html

this shows how to modify, so u can just add it too

 

[MrWhispers]

This is not true. I'm not trying to modify an Icon. I'm trying to use the actual feature itself.

I just looked at your page "how to change the icon" and I don't not even have that hive listing CLSID.

Either way I do not want to change the icon Also you cant change the icon of something not there.

I want to be able to create a shortcut of something and send it to my desktop as I'm missing this core function.

To sum up (cuz clearly you cant find it yourself) just take the attached file, unrar and put it here %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

ive got multiple SendTo folders(w7), i dont know if you need to place the shortcut in all of them or not.

Hmm what is that from I can't tell by the picture "C:\" send to

where can I add this I can test to see if it works now.

 

[Clanger]

"C:\" send to is just the search criteria(everything by voidtools) so ignore that, use the results beneath Name and Path.
you may or may not have the folders in the same places in win10 so look for them 1st.

 

[MrWhispers]

Yeah I think its has to be a group policy or registry setting that NTLite changed maybe even a required feature I stripped

I just wish I knew what it was so I could restore this thing back in.

Try this. https://www.ntlite.com/community/index.php?threads/desktop-network-icon.1626/ I had a network icon link issue on the desktop. Use live install and start in the "settings - explorer section

 

[MrWhispers]

Yo thanks for the reply. not sure what you mean. I clicked your link and not sure what I should be doing here lol

 

[MrWhispers]

This is my live install of explorer.

Did you unfortunately uncheck Send To Mail and Desktop under Components / System?

 

[MrWhispers]

Ah you know what I did. NTLite does not offer a in-place upgrade option does it.

Does this mean I will have to reinstall if I want to have this feature ?

 

[francis11]

It does with the Host Refresh option, more info here https://www.ntlite.com/v1-2-stable-released

 

[Saaglem]

francis11 is correct!!

 

[MrWhispers]

Hey thanks guys for the appreciated help and replies...

Also a BIG thank you, to you francis11

It took me two attempts
because the first try worked, but it uninstalled windows updates then when I tried to download them and install I got WU error 0x80240035

So I actually made a ISO this time instead of using the Folder. then extracted the finished ISO to a folder Host Refresh, and BOOM that worked!

Download windows updates no error, and HEY! I got my Shell:SendTo Desktop (shortcut) BACK!!!
