right mouse click slow / drive access slow

[Guest]

We have a good percentage of 700 pc's that have a VERY frequent delay under
two circumstances:

1- right clicking an icon on the Start Menu and the Desktop

2- selecting a mapped drive in explorer.

The delay can be up to 10 seconds!!!! Any ideas on how to remedy this would
be appreciated!!!

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled -

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

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace
objects - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm
