Task Pane Other Places

[Guest]

Since the very beginning of my Windows XP Pro installation (IBM TP41
distribution), I get a strange behavior when trying to use any of the links
in the 'Other Places' of the Explorer Task Pane. Whenever I press 'Desktop',
'My Computer', or another link in this Task Pane, Explorer hangs. When I
press the close windows button, I get the 'This program is not responding'
dialog and I have to kill Explorer with the End button. I alreday reinstalled
my whole system and I get the same behavior. I also installed a colleage TP41
and I have got the same error. I searched all databses on the net to find
info about the problem but I never found anybody reporting this problem. Is
anybody experiencing the same problems ? Any idea how to fix it ?

Thanks a lot.

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