Xp SP2 long wait when dbl cliking files

[Guest]

This has happened on several computers after installing SP2. If I right
click or dbl click on a file, it takes about 45 sec for either the menu to
appear or the program to launch.

Any ideas?

Extremely slow right-click menus

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