Vista desktop right click Menus slow to respond

From: Patrick Ryan

Hi, my Vista Home Premium desktop is very slow to respond to right click and bring up the menus, the same for the icons or files that I did a right click on the desktop.  How to rectify? Thank you.

From: Malke

Problems with right click are often caused by third-party programs that move on the shortcut menu. The best way to handle this is with ShellExView free program:

  • New folder option missing in vista when right click on

    I have vista 32 bit and just replaced my hard drive and reinstalled my OS.

    I was not able to create new folders.  When I right click on the box, and then click New, "desktop folder" is not there.  When I'm in windows Explorer and click on "organize", "new folder" is there, but when I click it, nothing happens.

    I ran sfc/scannow, and he said that he managed to repair some files.  I then rebooted and the problem is still there.

    I also checked the registry to verify that the desktop of windows update component has been installed and matched: {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}

    I also have the administrator rights.

    Don't know what else to try.

    I saw another thread on this recommendation to copy and paste a few lines of registry, but this thread was several years old and don't know if I should try again.  In addition, he was vague.  He said "copy and paste the following lines and save the file with the .reg extension. Double-click to add the information to your registry.

    Where can I stick him?

  • Right-click for slow response

    I recently started to feel a slow response for right click commands, usually they would "hang" for 3 to 6 minutes. I have seen similar posts and followed the instructions with the following results:

    1. started in Mode safe: the first right-click had a delay of 30 seconds, after the reaction was instant
    2. clean Booted: followed all instructions to eliminate stray services, found nothing specific but the right click to answer somehow reduced to 30-40 seconds
    3 Ran SFC: no problems not reported

    Now, the period is reduced to 20-30 seconds, but it is still longer than before.

    This problem started a week ago and gradually got behind more long until he was sometimes 6 minutes or more. I'm stubborn me for the delay. Once the pop-up window opens hit does not remove it, there's still 2 or 3 minutes. During this time the office is "frozen". Inatalling Service Pack 1 did not immediately solve the problem, and I did a full scan with Kaspersky showing no infection.

It has 2 GB of ram and unused 140 GB hard disk.  I've been running Vista for about a year and the problem just started a week ago.  I hope someone has a suggestion because at the moment I can't delete or rename anything.  I ran a software antivirus and anti spyware and found nothing.  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows Explorer closes and restarts (?) when I right click on a file photo.

    One time, I installed a software to go with a slide scanner. The software changed to the default program for photo files and then proceeds to seize up after that about 12 slides have been scanned. I removed the software, but every time I do a right-click on a file photo, jpeg, gif, bitmap, etc., or try to open the file menu when one is highlighted, close all Windows Explorer Windows and icons in the taskbar and desktop disappear for a while. The last two return after a minute or two, but not all open windows. Other programs such as Internet Explorer or MS Word are not affected.

    I suspect that the defective scanner software installed an entry in the context menu. Search for it and delete it using the ShellExView free program:
