I use the Cream without Cream version of Vim on my Windows XP
machine at work and usually keep it updated to the latest release on
the Cream site. I haven't kept careful track, but it seems that
after every maybe third installation, the Vim commands disappear
from the Windows Explorer context menu. Running the installer again
has always fixed the problem.
