Right Click Contex Menu

[Billy]

In Microsoft XP when right clicking on a file to access it's right click
menu options( i.e. open, copy, paste, properties, etc.), it takes a long
time for the menu options to appear, and sometimes they do not even appear
at all! The funny thing is is that this symptom only occurs when my network
connection is "enabled" and my other network PC is not connected at the
time. If I disable my Local Area Connection, or hook up my other PC to the
network, this does not occur. Another thing is is that this does not happen
when right clicking on a "folder", it only happens when trying to right
click on a file type (.rar, .bmp, .gif, .etc). Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Billy
