File or Folder Not Sent to My Briefcase Using "Send To" Command

• Microsoft Windows 95
• Microsoft Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

When you right-click a file or folder, point to Send To, and then click My Briefcase, the file or folder may not be sent to Briefcase.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if user profiles are enabled on the computer.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, copy the file or folder to Briefcase instead of using the Send To command.

For information about how to copy files and folders, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type "copying" (without quotation marks), and then double-click the "Copying Files, Folders" or "Files Or Folders" topic.

MORE INFORMATION

The Send To command assumes My Briefcase is in the <drive>:\<windows>\ desktop folder, where <drive> is the drive letter of the hard disk on which Windows 95/98 is installed, and <windows> is the folder in which Windows 95/98 is installed. With user profiles enabled, My Briefcase is in the <drive>:\<windows>\profiles\<username>\desktop folder, where <username> is the name you use to log on to Windows 95/98.
