I seem to have a problem that only recently popped-up. It doesn't seem to
matter where I attempt to right-click a folder, i.e. My Documents, Windows
Explorer, etc..
Whenever I right-click a folder no action occurs. The hour-glass is
displayed and when I attempt to close the window, the heading states that it
is not-responding and I can either choose to cancel to return to windows to
check the status of the program or choose to end the program immediately and
lose any unsaved data. When I choose End Now, my desktop clears and then
resets most of the time but every once in awhile I also have to choose to
recover my current desktop also.
Before listing this post, I searched thru many screens of posts and
didn't find another similar post so far so I'm reaching out for some
suggestions from someone that has experienced this also and found a
solution.
Thanks in advance for any help...........Blisscat

Here's a few things I suggested in reply to this post: "Right clicking
a folder freezes the computer" posted by arch. I don't think any of
them fixed his problem, but I think it was a little different than
yours. Check these MSKB support links in my earlier useless reply:
Here's a few (hopefully) pertinent links for you. If none of these
help, you might try going to support.microsoft.com and doing a further
search.

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