Right-click menus take 3/4 seconds to fully appear?!

Hey guys,

Several of the new machines at work (XP, core 2duo's) are all displaying a similar issue when it comes to using the 'right-click' menu in Windows (and installed software) – it takes about to3 or 4 seconds to fully appear, it's kind of staggered? I thought it might be a resolution issue but changing it doesn't solve anything…

Any ideas?

is scrolling and dragging windows smooth or very jerky? if it's jerky you may need to install the graphics drivers.

if not, then it's the Curse of the "Windows XP Slow Right Click"

New PC's with XP?

Surely Windows 7 is on new PC's?

could be an application with dodgy right click explorer integration.

Usually will be a dodgy application in your right-click menu. You can use ShellExView to disable them.

Most corporate environments are still XP, I know we still are and are likely to be for a while. It took us probably 3-4 years to get everyone onto XP in the first place.
