    You can customize this menu by adding, deleting, or editing shortcuts in the C:\Windows\SendTo directory.

    Thai, use Windows explorer to go to C:\Windows\SendTo (SendTo is a sub-folder of C:\Windows).

    With the contents of C:\Windows\SendTo displayed in the right pane you should see the two shortcuts to your "A" drive. Select one, right-click on it and chose delete.

    To add a shortcut to your Zip drive, right-click in an open area in the same right hand pane and choose New > shortcut from the context menu. In the "comand line" box, type the path to your zip drive. For example, if your zip drive is the "E" drive, type E:\ Click "next" and in the "select a name" box enter what you want to call the drive (Zip Drive, Zippy, Fred, or whatever). Click "finish" and you are done.

    Lolly42,

    Click on your START and then navigate from Programs to Windows Explorer.

    When you click on the Windows Explorer, the directions that Erik detailed in a previous post in this thread (see above) should explain everything clearly.

    Lolly42,

    I think I understand.

    When you go into the right hand frame of the SEND TO folder, there should be several things already.

    Since you want to send something to your A:\ drive right-click within that right hand frame and select from the popup dialog box the selection that is called "shortcut".

    When you select SHORTCUT you will then be given another dialog box. In the COMMAND LINE, type A:\.

    After you have named it, then close everything. A shortcut named "3.5 Floppy " should now appear in your SEND TO folder.

    Is this what you want to do?

    Thanks for your help ...

    I did go into the Windows Explorer area and found my printer and floppy and got it listed to the right side but when i tryed to create a shortcut it says it can't only to my desktop ONLY...

    And i didnt want it there i want it in the send to folder ..

    And in the send to i cant get it in there either ..

    Don't understand why the change i use to have it there unless IE 6.0 took it away on me ..

    What i want to do is say in my Turbo Tax when i work on a file and when i am done i always put it on floppy for future times.. In case i have to uninstall the program want to Tranfer it later on ..

    Same goes for my Quicken data i always USE to back up on to a floppy disk..

    But i cant now cause when i right click floppy isnt among the list to SEND TO any more ..

    And i been trying to do what the others said to do by adding a short cut but it wont let me add the floppy drive saying only to desktop and thats not where i want it ..

    Hope i made some since
