right click shortcuts error

[Guest]

Every time I try to right click or delete a shortcut on the desktop, the
desktop will reset.

I can right click normal icons, but not LNK files.

Did a full Virus Scan with up to date version of AVG
Ran AdAware (up to date)

Win XP Pro SP2 (Re-installed SP2)

Hi,

Right-click problems are usually caused by buggy shell extensions. Visit the
following page to know how to isolate the shell extension causing the
problem.

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