    Send to - Desktop (create shortcut)


    Basically, i want to remove "send to" from the right click menu and in it's place, just have "Desktop (create shortcut)". So, you right click an icon and can immediately make the shortcut to the desktop without sliding the menu out. i never use any of the other shortcuts and i'm pretty sure i figured this out in XP days. This is on Windows 10, latest build that i know of as of writing this on July 29, 2020. Please keep in mind i have been looking for a while on this and i am convinced it's a matter of writing the right thing at the right spot in the registry. Thank you.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 Send to Desktop as Shortcut is missing

    Hello,

    Thank you for your response.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + R keys and Type "shell:sendto" in
      RUN dialog box and press Enter. It'll open "Send To" folder.
    • Now right-click on blank area in the folder and select "New -> Text document". It'll create a text file with the name "New Text Document.txt". Rename this file and set its name to "Desktop (create shortcut).DeskLink".
    • That's it. Now you'll get "Desktop (create shortcut)" option back in "Send To" menu.
    NOTE: Make sure "Hide extensions for known file types" option is disabled in "Folder
    Options"

    Hope it helps. Keep us posted to help you better.
