That's what I thought at the very beginning, too - originally, files in 
"SendTo" directory were:

3½-Diskette (A).lnk
Desktop (Verknüpfung erstellen).DeskLink
E-Mail-Empfänger.MAPIMail
Eigene Dateien.mydocs


But I renamed them:

3½-Diskette (A).lnk    -> 1.lnk
Desktop (Verknüpfung erstellen).DeskLink    -> 2.DeskLink
E-Mail-Empfänger.MAPIMail    -> 3.MAPIMail
Eigene Dateien.mydocs    -> 4.mydocs


And the problem still exists. So it has nothing to do with strange 
characters.

Also, when I move the "SendTo" directory (with original filenames), for 
example to the Desktop, the problem doesn't exist anymore.

Indeed, those files have mostly 0 bytes (3½-Diskette (A).lnk has ~150 
bytes or so).

Does it happen for you with XP or 2000?
