[[Are any of these programs dangerous to use in Windows 98, ME, or XP?
Send to X, which adds to the “Send To” context menu options of Send To Any
Folder, Send To Clipboard, and Send To Command Line, has caused some
problems in Windows 98. Some people report that it interferes with Win98’s
built-in Send to Desktop feature. This does not happen on every computer (it
didn’t happen on mine), but does happen on some.
Win ME & XP NOTE: With only a single exception known to me, users have
reported that this PowerToy installs and works just fine on Windows ME and
XP, without needing the patch. To ward against even a slim chance of a
problem, set a Restore Point right before installing “Send to X,”
immediately test for problems, and do a System Restore if you want to back
out of the install.]]
