Programs that support the ContextMenuHandlers function, setup the context menu items
during installation. Some have an option to enable/disable this feature. When they
all appear missing as in your case, it's usually related to poor programing. When
you uninstall an application, it attempts to remove it's own context menu entry.
If the program was poorly written, it can wipe out the complete list (registry key).
