Warning

Message

This Windows Installer database contains a shortcut [SHORTCUT_NAME] created in a subfolder of the SendTo folder (Table: Shortcut, Key: [SHORTCUT_KEY]; Table: Directory, Key: [DIRECTORY_KEY]).

Background

The SendTo folder contains shortcuts for possible destinations to which files and folders can be sent. Since Windows Vista, shortcuts that are placed in subfolders of the SendTo folder are not shown. Only shortcuts that are placed directly in the SendTo folder are visible in the context menu.

Resolution

The following resolutions are available.

Manual Fix

Shortcuts in subfolders of the SendTo folder should be moved directly into the SendTo folder. Empty subfolders should be removed.

Basic Auto Fix

Shortcuts in subfolders of the SendTo folder are moved directly into the SendTo folder in a Windows Installer transform.

This fix is enabled by default.
