windows explorer slow right-click or copy

[The ants are driving me crazy]

Right-clicking or pressing Control C on a network file in Windows
Explorer causes, at times, a 3 to 8 second delay. Not a major issue,
but it is annoying. Most PC's at my job have similar configurations.
My PC is the ONLY one I've seen with this problem.

Does anyone have a solution to this other than changing the Context
menu handlers? I checked this already. I don't have anything on my
right-click menu that others do not have, and their Windows Explorer
works at normal speeds.

I read another article that claims a large number of fonts in
C:\Windows\Fonts could cause I problem. I deleted the ones that are
not being used, but this had no affect.

Any suggestions?

slow computers can be
caused by alot of things.

one way to make some kind
of determination is to boot into
safemode and see how your system
handles itself.

If it is better then
you narrowed down some
possibilites and it is likely
something.

If it is the same, then it's likely to
be a problem with the o.s.

let us know......

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