Slow Right-Click and Delete

[John]

I have recently started having my first real problems with WinXP. I am
running a 2.0 Celeron with 512 MB of memory on WinXP Home.

I am noticing the whenever I right click on any file, it takes roughly 20
seconds to display the menu. Also, whenever I highlight a file and hit the
delete button, it also takes about the same ... 20 seconds ... to perform
the task. I have not installed anything lately and have Windows Restore
Service disabled so that's not an option.

Any ideas what this might be?

Thanks in advance.

I'll try it and see if this resolves it. I am running Norton Anti-Virus so
this might be the problem.

Thanks.
