Re: Disappearing "Add to shortcuts" command

Hi Jonathan,

"Add to shortcuts" is not a standard entry in Windows. Is this option
provided by a third-party program / shell extension?

I'm using Windows XP with SP2. I often find it useful to create
shortcuts in Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) to mark
directories that I know I will revisit.

Lately the " Add to shortcuts" command has been disappearing, making
it impossible for me to do this. When I first open Windows Explorer
it is there, but by the time I get to the directory I want to mark,
it's gone.

I can work around this by creating a shortcut as soon as I open
Windows Explorer, then going to the directory and setting the new
shortcut's target with the Properties box, but that is a major
nuisance.

Does anyone know why the "Add to shortcuts" command is disappearing,
and how to make it stop?
