So I'm just trying to send a file to a compressed folder from Explorer. But for some reason the only option I have there is "Bluetooth device".
Did some Googling, found a suggestion to check the C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo folder to see if anything was missing. Everything is there as expected, but the option is missing when I right click. Shift+Right click doesn't help. I am not sure what else to do at this point.
Any ideas?

reg query "HKCR\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\SendTo"should return(Default) REG_SZ {7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}. Disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers one-by-one to find the culprit: try NirSoft's ShellExView – JosefZ – 2016-01-04T22:53:08.540It already does return that – eddie_cat – 2016-01-04T22:55:26.270
Do you mean that you are "right-clicking on a file" and choosing right-click options, "Send to"? Also, what operation system are yo using? If Windows there are two ways that I may be able to help. – ejbytes – 2016-01-05T05:03:01.383
Something similar as to what JosefZ said. Copy this:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Send To] @="{7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}"
into notepad and do a save-as Sendto.REG on your desktop. Then after you save it, double click on it to run it. If you don't have suffixes visible you'll have to do the save-as with quotes to save the file with correct suffix in this manner; "Sendto.REG" in the naming bar when doing a save-as. – ejbytes – 2016-01-05T05:11:52.343
@ejbytes I did that, same result. To answer your earlier questions, it's Windows 10 & yes, I am right clicking on the file, pointing at Send To, and the only option in there is Bluetooth Device when normally it would say Desktop, Compressed File, etc... – eddie_cat – 2016-01-05T14:29:21.017
One thing I learned to is as soon as your/my computer is in a good working condition, free of known bugs and malware etc, do a Full backup of the whole PC (especially operating system) and create a Restore Point. I know it's late for that right now, but have you tried to do a System Restore at an earlier date(hoping that you've done one)? A restore won't delete anything, it's aimed at the system. – ejbytes – 2016-01-05T21:51:48.300
