I have a non-Microsoft text editor and a graphics program which I have
listed in the sendto directory. Until this morning they were in the
right-click drop-down menu under "sendto". I have tried re-installing the
shortcuts via the programs and with the sendto/file/shortcut wizard. They
show up in the directory when I use explorer to look at it, but they do not
show up when I right-click an item. Any suggestions? Thank you.

As I stated - I did that. They are in the sendto directory, but DONOT show
up on the right-click menu. They used to (as of a couple of days ago), but
as of yesterday, they have disappeared. As I said, I tried re-installing
them via the individual programs and the way this article shows - but they
still do not show up in the drop down menu.
 
The following corrected the problem on my COMPAQ the fix was provided by HP
Support.

Start->Run regsvr32 sendmail.dll
Start->Run regsvr32 /i shell32
 
Jimmie "B" and David: Thank you. These have done the job. Your input much
appreciated.

And HP Techs (outsource support...here) does know what the command does. They search Google Groups, that's for sure ;-)

It did seem familiar

To fix a lot of stuff one could do

cmd /k for %A in ("%windir%\system32\*.dll") Do Regsvr32 %~nA

and

cmd /k for %A in ("%windir%\system32\*.dll") Do Regsvr32 /i %~nA

clicking ok to all errors and messages.
