There should be several ways to get them back. 

* The files in the "Send To" context menu are just normal shortcut 
files in the "\Documents and Settings\[user]\SendTo\" folder, so the 
missing files should be lurking in your Recycle Bin. If your Recycle 
Bin is bypassed, you could use a data recovery tool like Restoration 
to scan the drive for them.

* You could ask someone to e-mail you the contents of their SendTo 
folder as attachments, and place them in your own SendTo folder. 
You'd have to modify some of the shortcuts afterwards, like the one 
that point to "My Documents". (Unfortunately, I removed most of the 
contents of my own SendTo folder, so I'm afraid I can't tell you what 
all the default shortcuts are).

* You could create a new user and copy/paste/modify the shortcuts 
from their folder to your own, much like the above suggestion.

* You could try X-Setup's "Enable/Disable SendTo folder" tweak.

Microsoft's TweakUI might have something to deal with this, too, but 
it's been a long time since I used it.
