Summary: cannot insert multi menu item into shell context menu

Initial Comment:
I am trying to use pywin32 com to develop a shell extension which will add the menu item to shell context menu.
I do a lot test using win32gui.InsertMenu, but i can not add more than one item to the context menu, I can just add one menu item, the following call to InsertMenu seem to be no effect.

I tried use the context_menu.py under "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\shell\demos\servers", and add one line like below:

39        items = []
40        items.append("balabala...")

But the result is that, only "balabala..." can be insert into the context menu, so the demo file also fail on my machine.

I think this maybe a problem of pywin32, so I report it and hope you to check.

Environment: windows 7 x86-32bit + python27 + pywin32-216.win32-py2.7.exe
