Hello stupot65,

You are referring to the context menu that appears when you right click on a folder --> send to --> compressed (zip) folder right?

There's a guide at the following link that will help you restore that issue:-

Hope that helps!

Why not reinstall 7-zip?

His personal preference perhaps? I was wondering the exact same thing.
