Hello, I recently installed and ran CCleaner for the first time and it did delete previous web sites, etc.
However, when I right-clicked on a Word document from the file menu and went to Send to, there is no provision for Mail Recipient. So, I have to attach every file from my e-mail client, Outlook Express.

This is really inconvenient and I would like to know how to reclaim this option. I uninstalled and then reinstalled MS Office 2003 in the hope that it would return, but to no avail.

Can someone please help? :rolleyes: Thanks!

You could try this:

Go to Start > Run > type sendto and press Enter

Your SendTo folder will open.

In the SendTo folder's Menu bar go to File > New > Text document

Call the new textfile Mail Recipient.mapimail (WITHOUT the '.txt' extention!)

When renaming it you'll get a warning that renaming the file may render it unusable; ignore that warning.

If performed correctly you should now again have the 'Email Recipient' context menu option available

Even faster (I should have thought of this before...):

Go to Start > Run, and type:

regsvr32 sendmail.dll

... then press Enter.

Registering this dll will automatically restore your shortcut.

Hello again and especially to Humpty and Tony Klein.
Your help was invaluable and I now have the Mail Recipient back on the drop down menu!!!
I never thought to look in Advanced in Internet Options and was able to correct that too!

Must admit I am quite new to Forums and hope you receive this reply. I will certainly be in touch should I need your assistance

Thanks again so much for your help; you are both godsends!!
Maureen :P
