How to use Windows 11 "Sent to" menu with Thunderbird?
I already tried putting Thunderbird as a shortcut into the C:\Users\<myAccountName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo (aka. shell:SendTo) folder. But when I use the "Sent to" menu and select Thunderbird, the file to be attached just gets openned by Windows as if I had double-clicked on it. Thunderbird does not even open a new message.
I also tried changing the call of the Thunderbird shortcut in the SendTo folder to: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -compose attachment= At least, then Thunderbird opens a new message. But it just writes the path\filename of the file to attach into the attachment section. When I then try to send the message, Thunderbird says it cannot access it under this path.
How are you doing this? Thanks!

Lets start with something simple. Is Thunderbird showing as a 32 or 64 bit application on your system? (Help > about)

Sure. That would be 128.2.3esr (64-bit)
Send to:
- Press Windows logo key + R, to open Run dialog box.
- Type shell:sendto and click on OK.
You will now be here: C:\Users\<myAccountName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
- Copy-paste the Thunderbird shortcut icon from the Desktop in to the SendTo folder.
- After this, you will be able to see Thunderbird when you right click on a file and select Send To.
For 'Mailto':
- In Windows: type Regedit
- select 'Registry Editor'
- locate : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail
- clickon 'Default' to open edit string
- Value Data - enter: Mozilla Thunderbird
- click on 'OK'
Also you may want to check: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail
