Office 2007 shortcuts no longer work from the Start Menu

I have been using Vista with Office 2007 for some time, but last week all of
the Office items (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access) stopped working from the
Start Menu. If I click one of them, the hourglass appears briefly, then
nothing happens. If I copy the icon/shortcut to the desktop and doubleclick
it, the app starts and it works fine. If I put it back into the start menu
from the desktop, it does not work. If I select the app from Start>All
Programs>Microsoft Office and "Pin to Start Menu", an icon is created, but it
doesn't work. All the non-Microsoft Office items in the Start Menu work fine.

I am not sure whether this is a Vista or Office problem - I'll post a
similar query in the Vista forum.
