Hello. I was wondering if anyone could please tell me why it takes close to
30 seconds to get to prefernces of any file or folder by right clicking it
and what the remedy would be.
 
Gentlemen, thanks for the links! Thus far no dice fixing this problem..
 
Detlev buddy, thanks for the new link. Still no dice. Being more specific in
describing the problem, I am noticing this on my desktop. The folders are
fine, however if I have a picture or files of any sort they would take a long
time to see the preferences with the right click or even opening. Thanks for
taking the time!
 
Just to clarify...

What happens when you right-click on these desktop files if you move
them to another location?
 
Hello

In this case according to me there is some kind of program which is trying
to load up when ur computer starts and this program is responsible for the
problem.
Follow the follwing steps:

1. Click on start-->run-->type in " prefetch " and press enter.

2. Click on edit on top left hand side of the prefetch windows and click on
selct all. Delete all the files in this windows. Dont worry you wont loose
anything from computer . these files are actually making the computer slow.

3. Click on start-->run-->type in "%temp%" and press enter and delete as
many files you can from this windows. You may not be able to delete all the
files because some files are not allowed to delete by windows.

4. Click on start-->run-->type in " cleanmgr " and press enter. select c
drive and try to scan the computer. In the last again click on ok....it will
delete all unnecessary junk files from the computer.

5. Download this software from this link:
http://www.filehippo.com/download/f...2b7fb22cff33ffd6e7d953336960bb66b5876ee49c34/ ; .

6. In this software click on--> analyse ur computer and then click on run
cleaner. it will remove all the junk hidden files and im sure computer should
become little fast.

Well, this problem is often caused by a third-party context menu handler
as already discussed in http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm

Make sure that you tried out the follow-up links as well, eg.
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm and this tool also:

In addition, see if this issue applies:

Good luck.
