I've deleted a partnership, and even deleted its folder in C:\Documents and Settings\[My name]\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles, and still it appears in the Windows Explorer "Send to" list.

Does anyone know of a way to remove this?

Thanks!

I'm not sertain which registry keys are read for the 'Send To' menu, but you will probably find references to the old partnership in your registry. Run regedit on your desktop machine to find and remove them.

I'm going to correct myself with an even simpler solution. Go to the SendTo folder in your desktop Windows directory. Remove the shortcut pointing to the old partnership's 'My Documents' folder.

Cleaning the registry will remove unneeded entries, but won't remove the Send To entry.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, neither my active nor my old partnership names are listed in SendTo. This is the one in

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\SendTo

...right?

All that's in there is Compressed (zipped) Folder, Desktop (create shortcut), and Mail Recipient.

Look for the shortcut in

c:\Documents and Settings\(your Windows user name)\SendTo

YAY! Thank you!

Funny how those little things can drive you nuts when you see them all the time.
