Making Shortcut to Flash Stick to place in SendTo.
Hi,
Does anyone know or remember how to make a shortcut to a flash drive. ? I managed to find a flash drive last week that actually works on 98, but I have forgotton how to make a shortcut to the drive so that I can place it in the sendto folder, if I recall it was a bit involved to make it all work, I think. Have already tried many things, including r/c on desktop to make new shortcut then browsed to where FlashStick is (H: drive) but it wont let me make it. Have posted to 98 group, but my message doesnt show so am trying here. thanks |

You are the first one I've heard of that actually want to use the sendto submenu for "sending" files somewhere Personally I was thinking about remove it or rename it to "Open with" since C:\Windows\SendTo\ it is a good place to put shortcuts to Notepad and Wordpad :-) If your usb memorys drive letter is H: then you should be able to create a send-to-H: simply by making a shortcut to H: in C:\Windows\SendTo\ or by copying the "3,5-inch diskette (A).lnk" file that is there and change the A:\ to H:\ in the properties for it, or if Windows don't let you, edit the shortcut-file with an hexeditor and change the two places in it that refers to driveletter A: |

It should bring up an alert that you can not do this but then will ask if instead you would like to make a shortcut and of course you do and then I think you done? |

(c) Rename the copy to "FlashStick (H)". (d) R-Clk "FlashStick (H)", & select Properties. (e) Change the Target from "A:\" to "H\:". That should do it. Now you have a new SendTo item! thanks -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR |

Death to desktop shortcuts. -- Lots of theoretical butchers are alleged and other bloody eyes are suitable, but will Pam secure that? |
