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:
