When you type the following text into a Google search window then you get
about 7,500 hits. You could do some research on the first few dozen hits.

explorer "fault bucket"

I would probably do this:
- Click Start / Run / msconfig.exe
- Tick the Services tab.
- Tick the box to hide all Microsoft services.
- Untick every remaining service except for your virus scanner and firewall.
- Tick the Startup tab.
- Untick every task except for your virus scanner and firewall.
- Reboot the machine to make the changes effective.
If this solves the problem then you need to work out which of the unticked
tasks or services is responsible for your problem. Note that the process is
fully reversible.

Thanks for the reply Pegasus. I've searched a little for my bucket number
without sucess, but will keep reading through some of the other results on
Google.

I tried what you said, without any luck.

Mally,

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

Thanks Daniel. I downloaded and used ShellExView and that seems to have
solved the problem.
It has been bugging me for nearly 2 years!

Great! And which shell extension caused the problem?
