OK, we're getting somewhere!

The key contained %USERPROFILE%\SendTo. I changed it to the value you
specified.

After a reboot, the Send To menu now contains the regular options.
Seems a little odd, since I think the other setting points at the same
place (comments welcome).

The Send To menu also still contains an entry for each of my disks and
network drives. These used to be the only entries I had, now they are
proceeded by the correct entries. How do I get rid of the disk drive
references? It's totally useless to send anything to the root of a
drive, with rare exception.

Thanks again,

I did run this. It posted "some errors could not be corrected, see log
file". Unfortunately the log file is 56K lines long. How do I analyze
it to find the errors?

I discovered this error months ago and after lots of software and
configuration had been done... and lots since. Reverting is
unfortunately no longer practical.

Hi Bob

This will help show you how to get rid of the drives from "Send To"

Thanks, I will watch for the change after the next reboot.

Is there any customization in Vista that doesn't require a registry
hack? :-)

You're welcome Bob

Usually only the ones that you can do from a 3rd party program instead
These programs basically just do the reg hack for you. ;

Thanks all, after a reboot this feature is back in working order and
the foolish send-to-drives are gone (why on earth MS thinks it would
ever be a usable feature to send files to the root of a drive, I can't
imagine).
