Windows Explorer Hang after SP4 on right-click

B

Beat Gossweiler

I am running Win2000 SP4 on a IBM ThinkPad R30.
After Installing SP4, i experience a hang of the Windows Explorer
(explorer.exe) for exactly 4 minutes when performing the following
task:

Right Click (or e.g. delete) on any file (not a folder) within folder
"\WINNT\Profiles\xxxx\Start Menu" or any folder below this one (xxx
can be any user).

After exactly 4 minutes the context menu is displayed or the delete
performed, whatever requested.

To me it looks like the requested action is "looking somewhere for
something", and some service which times out releases the hang after 4
minutes.

Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Maybe it has to do with that WM_TIMER recommended Win2K update? Dunno...
