After my wife's recent update of her windows 7 machine Notepad has disappeared from the Context Menu > Send To list. Any ideas?

Hello Jim, :)
Notepad is not in the "Send To" context menu by default, and is why it may have been removed after the update since the update most likely did a reset to default for this.
You can add a shortcut of "C:\Windows\notepad.exe" to the "shell:sendto" folder to add it back though.
Send To Context Menu
If you like, here's a "Open with Notepad" context menu you might see may work for your needs.
Open with Notepad - Add or Remove from Context Menu of Files - Windows 7 Help Forums
See the tutorial here:

Or to open that folder type shell:sendto in the Start > Run dialog box. Put a shortcut to notepad inside.
EDIT: Brink posted the easiest method!
Could be, but it wouldn't be the first time a Windows Update has reset something back to default.
