My 'SendTo' items dissapeared (only from contextmenu)

Question

I'm running Windows 8.1 x64.

Days ago I've noticed that all the items that I have in the SendTo menu has dissapeared.

They dissapeared only from the menu, I'm an user who customized the sendto items from many years ago, I'm familiar with the usage of this, I have my shortcuts on the corresponding directory in C:\Users\Administrador\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo but any item is shown in the SendTo submenu when I right-click on any file.

If I press SHIFT + RightClick I can see items in the sendto menu, but these items are the folders that I have in My Documents folder, what the...!

I think that maybe some reg-value associated with the sendto menu is pointing the wrong directory?, someone could have idea of what happened with my sendto menu?.

Answer 1

After doing a lot of researchs and trying to find the root of the problem by testing related solutions, I've fixed my issue with this registry script that fixes the .lnk file association:

Note: Its for Windows 8/8.1

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
