File Menu & Right Click Delays

[Guest]

I have a unique problem i have not been able to solve with windows XP. When
I right click on items, it takes a good 15 seconds before the menu opens up.

This happens in a number of situations. From the start menu, if i right
click on a program to delete it from the main menu, the hour glass comes up
and i have to wait for 15 seconds before the file menu comes up so i can
choose delete.

When in windows explorer, if i right click on a file to delete it or to see
the properties, once I right click the hour glass comes up and it takes 15
seconds before the menu pops up.

Likewise, when in windows explorer, if i click on FILE from the menu, I also
experience a 15 second delay.

Any suggestions on how to remedy the problem?

Thank you in advance!

This is not a unique problem.

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

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled

Right click causes an error and crashes Explorer.exe after installing
Windows XP SP2
