Post subject:  Send to desktop missing
The Send to "Desktop" is missing when trying to add a program shortcut to the desktop. (Win 8 with Classic Shell). I have tried almost every tip found during a google search but none worked. When I type "shell:sendto" in the run menu, Desktop (create shortcut) is on the list but "Desktop" is not on the list when trying to make a desktop shortcut for a program. I'm ready to pull my hair out - this should be easy to solve but I'm lost.

Any help would be appreciated

It is supposed to be there. You may have deleted it.
I would suggest to log in as another user (create a new user if you have to), then copy the shortcut from his Send To folder into yours.

Send to Desktop does not exist as a default shortcut in Windows. There's only "Desktop (create shortcut)". But you can simply create a shortcut to "%userprofile%\Desktop" and copy it to your Send To folder.

Yes, I know. Under the "Send to" menu - Desktop was missing in action. I performed a system restore to an earlier time and the problem is now fixed. I still can not explain why it disappeared and why I couldn't restore it manually. I tried every tip found using google but none worked. I then blamed Classic Shell which turned out not to be the cause.
