Vista - Vista RTM: Pin to Start menu bug?

Since installing Vista RTM I have tried to pin a couple of programs to the
start menu.
They appear fine and work OK until I reboot.

After a reboot the name is still there but the icon is gone. If I click on
it I get the following:
"The item you selected is unavailable.It might have been moved, renamed, or
removed. Do you want ot remove it from this list?"

Anyone else have this problem?

Hi,

I cannot reproduce that here. Is this an upgrade or a clean install? Where
is the shortcut originally that you are attempting to pin?

I'm glad I found this thread. I have what may be a related problem. When I
use the pin to start menu function for two MS Office 2007 shortcuts (New
Microsoft Office Document and Open Microsoft Office Document) the new
shortcuts placed on the start menu do not work. I also cannot launch either
of these shortcuts by typing in the start menu search field. Even though I
can get either one of them highlighted, hitting the Enter key does nothing
for me.

I have not had any icons disappear, though -- just the shortcut functionality.

BTW, placing these shortcuts in Quick Launch also does not work.
