Re: Rename Special in the context menu

That the shortcuts have this odd mismatch between the Program Files directories could be a huge problem if XY/Windows cannot find the targets thanks to WOW64 redirection. A shortcut which is idiotically configured to use %ProgramFiles% instead of the correctly bitted variable will usually not work correctly in both 32 and 64-bit programs. (And presumably Windows would omit non-existing entries from the menu when it builds it.)

There's also registry keys to disable the menu entirely (not sure if you can do it for just 32/64-bit) and also some for disabling it on certain item-types.

Thanks the various suggestions. I'll dig deeper and if I come up with a solution, I'll report back.

I just found where XYPlorer is picking up all the extra SendTo items: It is adding ALL the folders in my USER folder. See attached pic.

Can this be fixed so it only picks up items in the Win7 System "Send To" folder?

I have posted two replies in the past three days, both of which had an attachment. But they do not appear here when I look back. I've found the problem and wanted to show you by a screen shot.

In any case, the PROBLEM with XYPlorer showing a bunch of extra folders and things in the SendTo menu that are NOT in the Win system Send To folder - XYPlorer is showing ALL the items in my Windows Users Folder - which do not belog in the Context menu SendTo choice.

Can this be fixed?
