Lost explorer right mouse click menus

[Fred]

Hello everyone.

I hope there is someone here that can help me. My computer has suddenly
developed a problem where I can no longer right mouse click in windows
explorer. When I do this I get an hour glass icon and nothing happens. I
have to then call up the task manager to shut explorer down.

Can anyone help me please. Otherwise I will have to reinstall windows again
from scratch.

Cheers,
Fred.

Could be do to a misbehaving context menu handler. See this link:

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