SYMPTOMS
When you right-click a file or folder, and then point to Send To, the list of floppy drives may be incorrect. For example, a 3.5-inch floppy may be listed as a 5.25-inch floppy, a drive you removed may still be listed, and so on.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you add, remove, or change your floppy drive or drives after you have installed Windows 95 or Windows 98. When you do so, incorrect shortcuts may remain in the Windows\SendTo folder.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, delete any incorrect shortcuts, and if needed, create new shortcuts. To do so, follow these steps:

 Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders. In the Named box, type "sendto" (without quotation marks), and then click the Advanced tab. In the Of Type box, click Folder, and then click Find Now. Double-click the Windows\SendTo folder, and then delete any incorrect shortcuts in the SendTo folder. To delete a shortcut, right-click it, click Delete, and then click Yes. If needed, create new shortcuts for your floppy drives. To do so, use the following steps:

 In the Windows\SendTo folder, point to New on the File menu, and then click Shortcut.

</li> In the Command Line box, type " :\" (without quotation marks), where is the appropriate letter of your floppy drive. For example, if you want to create a shortcut to your A drive, you would type:

a:\

</li> Click Next, click Finish, close the Windows\SendTo folder, and then quit the Find Files Or Folders tool.</li></ol> </li></ol>
