can't access sendto

I want to add a destination to my sendto thingie. I get the message that I
don't have permission to access this folder (I am the administrator and the
sole user of this computer) and to edit Security in Windows and then I am
told that I have to use the Security Tab.

What/where is the security tab and what do I do there once I get there?

Thanks AL

Hi,

If you were trying to access this folder:

C:\Users\<user>\Sendto

then that is the wrong one. That is a junction point, not a folder. There is
nothing to access, it just redirects program requests to the real folder.
You can find yours by clicking start and typing:

shell:sendto

It should open to:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ SendTo

Hello Alfred,

Double check to see if this is how you are trying to do it.

That's what I did. At start I typed shell:sendto and got the message 'you
don't have permission to access this folder. Click continue to get access to
this folder'.

I clicked 'continue' and got 'windows needs your permission to continue"

I clicked 'continue' and got 'you have been denied permission to access this
folder. To gain access to this folder you will need to use the Security tab.

So I clicked 'Security tab' and tried clicking and changing things at random
not knowing what I was doing and nothing worked. I can't get access to the
sendto feature. My problem is that I need to know what to do once I get into
the security tab.

Al,

You would then just need to "Take Ownership" of the "SendTo" folder,
and "Allow" your user account "Full Control".

You likely need to be logged in as Administrator...
