Have you tried deleting the shortcuts and recreating your own? I'm running
O2007 Beta on Vista RTM and not having those types of problems, but I don't
have Visio or OneNote installed. Have you tried installing O2007, checking
to see if the problem exists, install Visio, check the problem, install
OneNote, check the problem?
