This is caused by poor software, installing an Explorer/Shell add-on
(context menu handler) for instance. See if any of these articles apply:
"Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers"
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm
"Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled"

Windows XP SP2"
