When you start Outlook manually before you use the Send To option, the process works properly.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, use one of the following procedures:

  • Copy the Frmcache.dat file from the C:\Windows\Forms folder to the user's %SystemRoot%\Profiles\%username%\Windows\Forms folder.

    -or-

  • Delete or rename the Home Directory Forms folder.
