Right-Click SLOW post SP2

[Guest]

I've read all the other posts regarding this issue without much success.
Would appreciate any help that could be offered:

Since SP2, right-click on anyfile on desktop and menu takes ~45 sec to
display. Also double-click on any file on desktop and takes ~45 sec to lauch
associated application (near instantaneous launch of file if launch via
file->open from within the app.

Used ShellExView (per other posts). Only Context Menu items that are
non-microsoft are mcafee virusscan enterprise, real scheduler, and Photoshop.
Disabling each individually or all together does not correct the issue.
Even diabling the MS context menus for media player 10 (the only microsoft
ones that don't specifically indicate "SP2" in the name) doesn't correct.
Are there other things to troubleshoot besides the "type: context menu" items?

Programs launched on startup only include virusscan, directCD, msnmessenger,
adobe assitant, HP printer drivers, and palm hotsync. None of these
manufacturers admit SP2 probelms.

I'm out of ideas. Please help. Thanks in advance!

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

I have the same problem ,but in my case is even
worse.Everything gets frozen(only the mouse I can move,
but without any effect)and it will stay like that until
amessage saying that "dr.watson postmortem debbuger has
encountered a problem and needs to close".After that I
open the task manager and kill Dr.watson.then, explorer
closes and restarts, but in the Sys tray some of the
icons disappear.once, I have jsut created a folder on
desktop and I wanted to right-click it, when what I
described before happened.After explorer came back, the
folder was no longer there(although if I use total
commander, it appears as being on desktop, but I cannot
delete it,nor moving its content).If you found a solution
or someone gave you an advice, I would very much
appreciate if you could pass it to me.Thanks
