Whenever i right click on certain files, it takes ages for the menu to come
up. That explorer window hangs but eventually comes up with the menu. There
are no signs of CPU stress and my computer has decent specs.
It also does this sometimes when i double click on files, say an mp3 file to
play in winamp, i would double click on it, it would take ages to pop up and
then if i closed winamp and open up another song it would open instantly.
This is the same for jpg files and txt documents (irrelevant to size).

I have used ShellExView and disabled ALL non-microsoft context menu's. This
has not solved the problem.

Any suggestions on what may be the cause??

Damian,

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