Right click menu

[Gary]

When I right click on a folder in Windows Explorer the menu shows up
immediately. When I do the same on a file (any type) it hangs and
never shows the menu. I think the problem is a corrupt option in the
menu. Does anyone know of an easy way to remove a program from the
menu?

Hi Gary,

Start here:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandle rs
