XP sp2. Otherwise it's working fine. And, I can delete and edit shortcuts
via Explorer.
Help appreciated.

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers -

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace
objects - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm

Right click causes an error and crashes Explorer.exe after installing
Windows XP SP2 - http://www.winxptutor.com/sp2/divxcrash.htm

ShellExView was excellent. I disabled several context handlers at once, but
from reading the third note I think Divx was the culprit.
Many thanks!
