jasinwa Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I've searched the net and this forum of course....can't find anything clear to get this one resolved.First, I have all hidden files shown (the folder options, etc). These 2 send to entries are no where to be found. I've searched the registry for the words Floppy and CDRW and couldn't find them for anything to do with the send to menu, best I could tell....I was surprised not to easily find an answer to this one...I want to remove the 2 entries in the send to submenu:Send to 3 1/2" FloppySend to CD-RW DriveAnyone got the answer?

jasinwa Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 thanks but I already said (in a roundabout way) that I checked that, tried that - those 2 are NOT displaying anywhere.I have show all...on every pc I use.....as a general rule I want to see all. These 2 I can't find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridShadow Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Thats right they are automatic i found another thing that may help you1.) http://windowsxp.mvps.org/nodrives.htm Go there they have a bit of info2.) Use nLite and in the tweaks section click it so it removes it for you (but this means you need to reinstall)3.) Contact the maker of nLite to ask how he made that tweak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasinwa Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 I checked the windowsxp.mvps link...good info but that one kills the drivesfrom view altogether....I want to just remove them from the send to menu....oh well, looks like it can not be done!

HybridShadow Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 There is a way to remove the send to menu alltogether but i cant find how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasinwa Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 yes, I found how to remove the wholesend to in the contect menu, but again, not quite what I want..I am picky, eh? I just want the 2 drive entries (floppy and CDRW) removed, ONLY from the send to menu.Otherwise I have a number of send to's I like to use!

HybridShadow Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 You could remove your cd rw and floppy drive but i dont think that would help you that much eitherI have it removed on mine (send to menu) so i cant see any changes i make - have you tried right clicking the cd-rw in my computer and disabling the recording feature (if you use windows built in burning then dont do this) its good if you use nero or a diferent burning program as this wont effect it and it may remove the link in the send to menu.As for the Floppy drive i have know ideai will keep looking though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
