    In Windows Explorer, when you right-click a file or folder, you may experience any of the following behavior:

    Any file copy operation that is occurring at that time may appear to stop responding.

    Network connection speed may significantly decrease.

    All streaming input/output operations such as listening to music on Windows Media Player may become distorted.

    When you right-click a file or folder in Windows Explorer, the CPU usage goes to 100 percent while the shortcut menu is displayed. It returns to the correct level when the shortcut menu is closed.

    To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods:

    Turn off the transition effects for menus and ToolTips.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    To turn off the transition effects in Windows XP do the following:

    • Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    • In Control Panel, double-click Display.
    • In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Appearance tab.
    • On the Appearance tab, click Effects.
    • In the Effects dialog box, click to clear the Use the following transition effect for menus and tool tips check box, and then click OK two times.

    good tip Birdie you can also try to Click the folder or file that you want (select it) before you right-click it to display the shortcut menu.

    This maybe normal when you have some dummy software that install it self in the Right Click Menu
    There are some software for example for Video preview when you right click the file
    Having like these software may load windows explorer to load the DLL
    in case of corrupted software or other DLL .. this may couse windows explorer to freeze and stop responding when you call the Right Click
    Run Hijackthis .. if you dont know why is this happenning ..
    Uninstall some software that has been recently installed
