Weird Vista File Context menu Problem

Vista Ultimate&Enterprize - XY activated
File context menu shows installed programs like: PSPad, TextPad, UltraEdit, Kaspersky, Winzip ...
After 5-10 minutes those items disappear from the menu.
After restarting (could be restarted from the File menu) they are there again ... and then they again disappear.
Anyone?

Yikes!
I'm forced to use Vista (Business) at work and don't have that problem. The only extra items I have in the context menu are PSPad and WinRAR, but they don't disappear, they're always there. Hmmmmmm......

Sounds impossible. No ideas. (No Vista here.)

This happens on two Vista computers.
Here are some pictures - screen with two XP started - left one 10 miutes earlier than the rigt one - pictures show file context menu on same file.

There's nothing suspicious in the code, nothing cached, nothing that could explain this behavior. Time ("10 minutes") cannot possibly be the source of it. It must be some action happening within that time, some event that somehow persistently alters the state of the machine (of your system or of XY or both).
Sorry, I have currently no idea what that could be.
