Right click

Hopefully someone will have seen this. When I right click a file it often
takes 15-20 seconds to bring up the menu. My machine has over a gig of
memory and according to task manager there is no process that seems to be
pegging. I had Adobe Acrobat and winzip in the context menus and uninstalled
those apps, but this did not help.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have had this before. It boiled down to a dodgy context menu entry.
I used this freeware app to fix it:

It's really quite good. You can enable/disable any plugins to your
context menu at will. As I recall you need to log off/log on after
each change but I can't remember.

Open My Network Places, remove any links to network places, I've seen it
do that with disconnected locations on the network.
