File Explorer, Right Click Locks Window

[Guest Mik]

Any time I open the Windows XP (SP2, all updates) File Explorer, when I

right click to Copy, Paste, Create New Folder, etc. the File Explorer

window locks up.

 

I can do a CTL-ALT-DELETE and it shows that the window is "Not

Responding". I end the task and the windows desktop rebuilds, and I can

open another window.

 

Any ideas? I have anti-virus running (no hits) and tried searching

Microsoft support (nothing). Can't find anything anywhere else.

Maybe this one? Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context

menu handlers:
