i am running windows XP and suddenly it seems that any
time that i right click or double click on a file in an
explorer window, it takes a very long time (20 to 30
seconds or so) for either a popup menu to appear or for
the associated program to be launched. does anyone have
any idea what could cause this? is is a registry search?

What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not
later than 2002 and using updated virus definitions) show? Also, remove
spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from www.security.kolla.de and
Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs
before running them. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal
tools in Safe Mode.
