Don't install cabview (updated version incl in 98 base install and later), command prompt here (updated version in XP Powertoys), flexicd (it works in that you can open and close CD Tray but it won't play music), and quickres (Need NT4 powertoy version and then it might do nothing depending on video drivers).

For Sendto the below procedure makes it Win 98 and later compatible

Install the Windows 95 Send To Power Toys. After installing go to Add/Remove programs in Control Panel and select Send To Extension Power Toys, click Add/Remove and clear the checkboxes for the three mail extensions. Type in Start Run
regsvr32 sendmail

If Explore From Here causes problems type in Start Run to make compatible.
regsvr32 /i shell32

Send To Tips
a.. To create sub menus on the Send To menu type Sendto in the Start - Run dialog box. Click a blank spot and choose New then Folder. Rename the folder to the name you want on the Send To menu. Drag your shortcuts you want on the menu into this folder.
a.. On Favourites and Shortcuts Send To Clipboard As Contents copies the target path/URL
a.. For Office 2000 and later versions or other applications that use Windows Installer Shortcuts you need to create a normal shortcut to the program files.
a.. Put a shortcut to Sendto folder into the Sendto folder. Then when you want to add a program or folder to the Send To menu right click it, choose Send To then while holding Ctrl + Shift click Sendto.
