Shortcuts ASdded To SendTo Don't Show Up

M

I've never seen a windows installation do this before. This is in Xp Pro. At
work. we recently upgraded from 2000 to Xp. They used a canned type upgrade
where it's a total rewrite. I don't know if others have this problem or
don't know because they have never tried to use this very nice capacity.
Shortcuts added to the sendto directory don't show up when right clicking
and selecting send to.
I've been using this convenient feature for years. The first I always enter
is word so I can right click on any file with any or even no extension and
send it to word.
But it doesn't show. My system has an admin, all users, default user and me.
I tried putting a shortcut to word in the send to for every user...still
nothing.
Stumped our support staff also. I told him I was going to leave a message
here and he asked me to let me know if I get a solution.

Does the Registry value
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders point to %USERPROFILE%\SendTo ?
