I have a 64bit app shortcut in the sendto folder, clicking this shortcut within the internal browser (IE) context menu doesn't work. The link in the menu points to c:\Program Files(x86) instead of C:\Program Files. I have a 64bit Win7 machine. Steps to reproduce 1. Open the Internal Web Browser 2. Set the url to a local folder (i.e file://C:/) 2. Right click on a file and select a 64bit app to send this file to (i.e winzip)
The Browser control does not do anything to interfere with the native behavior of this scenario. Does this work for you in stand-alone IE with the same bitness (meaning, if you're running 64-bit eclipse then try this in 64-bit IE, not 32-bit IE)?
I wasn't able to reproduce this issue with other 64-bit app on either 32-bit eclipse or 64-bit eclipse. I am using 64-bit winrar, I guess it is winrar that is having problem. I have close the bug.
New update: I downloaded notepad2 (64bit) and put it within c:/Program Files/ folder and create a link to the sendto shutcut. I am able to send a txt file to notdpa2 for a 64bit eclipse, but not a 32bit eclipse. I am not able to enter file://c:/mydir URL within IE to see the embedded File Explorer, instead it opens an external File Explorer. I am not sure whether this is an IE issue or eclipse issue. I have reopening this bug.

Closing this issue as WORKS_FOR_ME
