Slowdown when using Windows Explorer

[Andrew]

I have a curious problem that I hope someone can help me with.

Whenever I use the windows explorer, I experience some slowdown. This
happens when I select a file and right click for the action list. The hour
glass will appear for about 5 seconds before the list appears. This happens
intermittenly but often enough to bother me. Anyway, I tried ways and means
to solve the problem but to no avail. However, I recently discovered that
this only happens when I turn on the wireless adapter. When it if off,
everything is ok. What gives?

My system is as follows:
HP NW8000 Notebook
Pentium M 2GHz
2GB Ram
Windows XP SP2
Intel Pro/wireless 2200BG
Intel Proset wireless utility

Thanks in advance!

Hi Andrew,

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled:
