SendTo context menu shortcuts not showing

hi group
this should be a relatively simple one, but I can't seem to find any vista
related information about it anywhere on the interweb so your help would be
appreciated

here's the problem: any shortcuts placed into the SendTo folder don't show
up in the context menu

adding a new shortcut to the send to context menu is easy enough:
run: shell:sendto
- then create the shortcuts you need in the folder that opens, and all being
well the shortucts are shown in the context menu next time you click there

this worked fine for me until all the various shortcuts disappeared leaving
me with only the default "Compressed", "Desktop", "Documents", "Mail
recipients", and DVD-RW drive options left showing

deleting and re-creating the affected shortcuts doesn't help, although
dropping a copy of notepad.exe (for example) into the folder does result in
notepad showing up in the menu

this is occuring under vista home premium and an administrator account - any
ideas anyone?
