"File->New" menu takes very long to appear

[erez_st]

Hi,

Lately, when I try to create a new folder by right-clicking in explorer
and selecting the NEW submenu, it takes ~30 seconds before the submenu
actually appears. Same thing happens if I try to use the File menu.

Any ideas -- what could be causing the slow-down?

Could be do to an ill behaving context menu handler. See this:

This might apply:
Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers.
