"Send to" problem

Suddenly all the partitions on the system appear when accessing the
"send to" tag in explorer. This has only recently started happening, and I
can find nothing in the folder "send to" that could cause it. In the past I
added a couple of items to the "send to" folder for my own purposes, and
those work OK. I'd just like to know why all the partitions (some 8 or so on
various discs) have suddenly appeared. Note, on my lap-top only the DVD
drive appears in terms of non-program entries.
Any suggestions?

After a little more thought and experimentation, this effect seems
to be due to turning on the "AHCI" facility on my SATA drives in the BIOS.
Switch it off, and the extra entries disappear!
Seems a little strange though!

Thanks Char. Yes, I should have softened that a bit.

If the end-clicker has previously gone to tinyurl.com's site there
is an option to turn on "previews". It shows the target instead
of automatically redirecting you there.

While my own preference is to simply provide the direct link, as I did
above, if a person feels they must use tinyurl they should just use
the 'preview' version of the URL, as in

http://preview.tinyurl.com/pr32bs

That way, everyone is covered, whether they've been to tinyurl.com and
allowed the cookie to be set or not.

These comments are all very well. I KNOW how to turn "AHCI" on. My question
is about the side effect of showing all the partitions in the "SEND TO"
window.

I did and got Server not found. Duh. If you're smart enough to use

To reduce the paranoia, sometimes, triggered by a "Tiny" link, you can
prepend the link with "preview". In this case the link would be;

http://preview.tinyurl.com/pr32bs

Just something to consider as a safety net for those users who feel
uncomfortable with an undisclosed site.
