I had same problem and treid to narrow down menu items on right clicks. I am
running INCD and Spy Sweeper. This problem of right-clicking and crashing
explorer and then getting dr. watson error message always occurred on my
computer and my wife's. Then I upgraded Spy Sweeper (had to pay for it)
yesterday and the problem disappeared. Hope this helps out there.

Spy Sweeper, AVG and some others also cause this:
