send to function missing, tried everything

Okay, so this is gonna be fun...

My Right click --> send to went missing I assume today or yesterday or
whenever I was like 'hey, where the hell did it go?'. So I sit here, I play
around on my computer like I normally do. I try the start --> run --> sendto
and get a 'access denied'. Hmm, check it out, its a reference point, I find
the ACTUAL point, and lo' and behold...things appear normal. The icons are
there, there is a desktop.ini there with registers in it...everything SEEMS
fine....

Yet, no function. I delete the files, end explorer task, recreate them,
restart explorer...nothing. Hmm. Restart windows a few times, check a
different user account, same thing. The files are there, but the explorer
context is NOT.

I do a bit more research - find a few functions I can roll with. Tried the
regsvr32 sendmail.dll | regsvr32 /i shell32...

Ran into a huge problem. Sendmail.dll wont register - in fact, its all
sorts of jacked up. "The module 'sendmail.dll' was loaded by the
entry-point dllregisterserver was not found. Make sure that 'sendmail.dll' is
a valid dll or ocx file and then try again"

Hmm, thats weird huh. Never quite had THAT happen...

Okay, well, screw it. I cant get the explorer extension to work right, Ill
just load another program to do it.

I see Send To Toys 2.5 - I download it, I install it, works good up to the
point where I try and get the damned thing to add folders. It wont do
NOTHIN. Nothing at all. And then...get this, and this is the kicker ladies
and gents...

I go to check the start --> run --> shell:sendto | again to see if itll let
me check stuff...and BAM! Access denied. Wait. My OWN user account is
locking me out of a folder I was JUST able to get into?

What the hell is going on and how the crap do I fix it? I know its JUST the
send to function, but damnit, I like it. I enjoy it. And now its gone and
Im gonna kill someone (not really but you get my gist)

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Is there a registry entry I need to
fix, is there something I need to do that I havent already? Is chucking my
lappy out of the 3 story of my Air Force Dorm Room a good idea? Problem not
on the last one...

Thanks guys, I appreciate it in advance.

Don't know if this will solve your problem, but did you try to register the
..dlls from an "elevated" command prompt.

i.e. Right click on cmd.exe, and select "Run as Administrator".

Its not a matter of LOADING it, as it does succeed in that, however, the
sendmail.dll is all sorts of jacked up and wont register correctly. I dont
think it has anything to do with administrative rights or anything like
that...

I ran across the send to list in the registry. It listed the apps that would
appear with the right click. But I can't remember where it was...sorry
