So you mean the shorts in the Send To context menu are not there any more,
right?

If the Send To menu is there, you may check the folder C:\Users\(your
username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
If all the shortcuts are there but hidden, you may need to uncheck the
hidden properties of the folder or even the AppData folder. Then you will
see the options of your Send To again.
If the shortcuts are not there in that folder, you can recreate them by
using the steps on the following page.

Send To Context Menu - Restore Default Menu Items

If the Send To context menu is not showing up, you can try the following
script.

SendTo context menu shortcuts not showing

Please be sure to backup at least your registry before doing the scripting
on it.

Navag., (as in previous exam.), gives "Win cannot find"

Hello Boswell,

See if this may be able to restore the "Send To" context menu for you.

Send To - Add or Remove from Context Menu

and

Send To Context Menu - Restore Default Menu Items

Hope this helps,
Shawn
