How to fix send to menu in Windows 8?

3

I've recently bought an Windows 8-powered notebook and since first start I have problems with context send-to menu.

Look at the screenshot.

Broken send-to

The folder displays contents of my shell:sendto folder. But despite all usual items are present, the send to menu consists only of "send e-mail".

How can I fix it?


Edit: In response to comments:

Contents of Desktop.ini of this folder:

[LocalizedFileNames]
Fax Recipient.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\FXSRESM.dll,-120
Mail Recipient.MAPIMail=@sendmail.dll,-4
Desktop (create shortcut).DeskLink=@sendmail.dll,-21
Compressed (zipped) Folder.ZFSendToTarget=@zipfldr.dll,-10148
Documents.mydocs=@shell32.dll,-34575
Transfer plików Bluetooth.LNK=@C:\Windows\System32\fsquirt.exe,-2343

Thanks for the answer, but it won't help. I already have such entry in System Registry... – Spook – 2013-04-22T18:09:02.170

Right click and check properties. If those entries are set as hidden they do not appear in the context menu. – Afzal – 2013-04-22T18:46:43.273

They are not. Right click on the bluetooth icon hangs permanently this window of Explorer, though. – Spook – 2013-04-22T18:52:08.323

Can you post the content of your Desktop.ini file in that particular directory please? – Afzal – 2013-04-22T18:52:55.937

Sure, I've edited my post. – Spook – 2013-04-22T19:08:13.000

Try sfc /scannow in an elevated command-prompt and report back after its done (do a restart after its done). I cannot think of anything else. – Afzal – 2013-04-22T19:10:09.410

Will the following appear in the SendTo menu: Once you're in the SendTo folder create a new i.e. New Document.txt but then rename that to Desktop (create shortcut).DeskLink ? – Darius – 2013-04-22T19:18:35.330

After an attempt to use Bluetooth, Windows crashed with a bluescreen. Oddly enough, after a restart, all options suddenly appeared in the Send To menu. Now, when I add another option, as you suggested, it appears in the menu immediately. I'm also able to call properties on a bluetooth send-to link. That's weird. – Spook – 2013-04-22T19:57:58.250

Chance are that your sendto folder is corrupted. (You can use shell:sendto in Run to locate)

If that is the case, you can fix it using Advanced System Care.

Check the page http://www.iobit.com/help/asc/doc/toolbox.html. Search for IE Helper. IE Helper will help you restore your default context menu.

Caution : Since the OS language is not English, there is a risk that ASC will tamper with your registries regarding contect menu incorrectly.
