Having problems when right clicking a folder in windows
explorer, takes over a minute for the menu to appear. Or
if I highlight a folder and press delete, same prob. Got
process explorer and it says that I am using 95% to 98%
CPU for system idle process. Which I would think is an
issue. Funny though, the windows default alt/ctrl/tab
program doesnt say that much cpu is being used.
Anyway, is this my problem and what exactly is the issue
please ? :)
 
System Idle is the percent of time windows has spare. IE 95% of the time windows does nothing waiting for you to issue an instruction. This 95% is normal.

What items are on the r/c menu. Also (as all aren't shown) look here in the registry and get the number
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Look the number up here
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\<number>

and list the file listed as the server, most likely an inproc32server but can be other types.
