context-menu

My understanding is that in Windows 7 if I right click an ISO image I should have an option Burn Image, or if I double click an ISO I should get a dialog to let me burn the image....

Not happening for me, any idea's why?

Edit: 29th April.

I do have isoburn.exe in my system32 directory, and it works just fine if I launch it manually from cmd. However I simply do not have the context menu when I right click on a iso file.

So my more specific question is, does anyone know how to simply restore this context menu item, an entry in the registry perhaps? (but where and what)
