Try left-clicking on the item to highlite it, then hold the shift key and right-click
and see if Open With is available.

I have something of the same problem... In my case it's not that "Open With..." doesn't
appear, there's just NOTHING in it irrespective of what programs I install... and
trust me, I've tried a few...
It strikes me that there may be a folder in the 'Send To' style and I may have either
a corrupt reference to it in the registry or possibly NO FOLDER. Alternatively it
may consist of a key of it's own that has got corrupted in my registry.
Trouble is without a reference machine... I can't check. Can somebody with a 'functioning'
machine have a peek?
Cheers.
