For a quick fix try system restore, back before the problem started. I bet that will fix it.

If it started a few days ago, go back a week.

If that wont work, open an elevated command prompt (CMD, Run as Administrator) and type, without quotes "SFC /scannow" and press enter.

That will scan your PC and make sure all the system files are in tact and not corrupt or missing, and will fix the problems if it finds any.

Hello RockerDash,

You might see if using the Folder download option in this tutorial can restore it for you instead of the one you used for Vista.

New Context Menu - Remove & Restore Default Menu Items

and the Folder download option here as well.

Default File Type Associations - Restore


Hope this helps,
