John B:

Still in the menu.  It thrashes for a few seconds like its actually going to 
do it, but it's just pimping me.  Nothing happens.

>> Rocky,
>> Its sounds as if something messed up your registry or personal folder
>> settings. (I'm assuming you have Windows XP/2000. Windows 9X keeps this
>> info
>> under Windows\Profile\UserName.)
>>
>> I'd say the easiest way to get this back would be to create another user
>> (control panel - user accounts). I'll call it "NewUser".
>> Then go into Windows Explorer and do Tools | Folder Options [View] - 
>> under
>> Advanced Settings make sure view hidden files and folders is checked then
>> click OK.
>>
>> Now navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\NewUser\SendTo and you will see
>> all of the shortcut menu icons on NewUser's shortcut menu.
>>
>> Select the items you want on yours and copy them to the C:\Documents and
>> Settings\Rocky\SendTo folder.
>>
>> By default XP sets up Mail Recipient, Compressed (zipped) Folder, My
>> Documents, Desktop(create shortcut) shortcuts for each user. If your
>> NewUser
>> does not have the necessary items in it let me know because there is
>> something rotten in SendTo land.

>> Well I'm back to this problem and it turns out it's not unique to WinZip.

>>> Rocky,
>>> Does Send to WinZip and Email still appear on the shortcut menu?
>>>
>>> If so go into WinZip | Options | Configuration
>>> System Tab:
>>> Ensure Associate WinZip with Archives is checked
>>> Explorer Enhancements Tab:
>>> -Top 3 checkboxes (Under title "General") should be checked. If they are
>>> checked, then:
>>> uncheck them-click-OK
>>> open the same dialog again-recheck them and click OK.
>>> (It really does work that quickly on my machine.)
