Hi ankur3020,

The code I posted has been tested and it works as expected. I just re-tested it again.

The script will overwrite the Default value's data from "{7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}" ( this is on Windows XP SP2) to value data "0", which effectively removes the Send To right-click context menu from your PC.

What exactly are you trying to do and what do you mean when you say "no results".
Give me as much details as possible about what are you trying to do and maybe I can help you.
