I've a 5 second delay when I do first right click on picture file. It seems
menu has to load in first click. After menu load, second click is normal.

I read your message three or four times before I realized that your
reply was on the top, and worse, there were no signs on the message
you quoted below. As I then guessed, I see that you are using Windows
Live Mail, which as far as I'm is the *worst* e-mail/newsreader
program available.


So let me point out that if you want to be understood in a newsgroup,
what you are replying to needs to have signs put in from of it, as
your sentence above does. You either need to use a decent newsreader
or else put the signs in yourself manually. I don't care which you
do, but let me point out that if you don't do one of them, most of us
here will quickly killfile you because your messages will be
unreadable.

Bear in mind that I don't mean that last sentence as a threat, but
just as a practical consideration for you.

I don't know why should I use an old newsreader or non microsoft in a
windows 8 forum.
If you can't help me I'll wait for something. I've tried searching help in
other places but couldn't find answer.

I would recommend you review your installed software.

Sometimes, some other piece of software you've installed,
affects how long it takes for the Context Menu to appear.

"ShellExView..."

This is the tool you need, to review your Context Menu
software installations. For each "suspicious" entry, try
Googling them, to see if there is a known problem with
the entry in question.

Good luck,

Thanks. I don't have extra entries on context menu.

Bye.

OK.

If the problem was on my own computer, I would try
Process Monitor. Set no filter. Start Process Monitor
running. Reach over and right-click the file in question.
Wait for the context menu to appear.

Then, stop Process Monitor, and review the entries. Perhaps
you'll see registry activity for the piece of software that
is slow.

I don't know if there is actually a tool that can time
how long it's taking for the context menu.

It's also possible antivirus or malware software could
be a factor, but again, I don't know how to debug that.

Well, top-posting, like you're doing, is against net etiquette. There's a
solution to your problem using AutoHotKey. Here's a web site:

What kind of processor does your computer have? How much RAM? How big is the
image you're right-clicking on? I get the impression that you're simply
using an underperforming computer with a particularly large image.

You should use whatever you want. Far be it from me to tell you what
to do.

My point is a simple one: if you make it hard for us to read your
messages, many of us will killfile you, as I am about to do. Goodbye.

What's your picture-viewer software? I do not use the one comes with
Windows, and I don't see your problem here.

Never mind. Guess no one knows.

Very true, especially since you choose to make it that way. No one here
is you at your computer to investigate your problem. If you are
unwilling to answer their questions then don't bother asking your
questions here. If you're not willing to help the helpers to remotely
investigate your computer through then why would you expect them to help
you? Were you expecting any joker from Usenet to have remote access to
your computer so they could look directly at it without your assistance?

The context menu is built from entries in the registry. Some programs
add their own entries to the desktop aka shell. Some even add their own
submenus (that THEY have to show since they don't come from the shell
extensions defined in the registry). Since you are unwilling to specify
what viewer software you installed and use for the images then no one
can identify what it does to the shell extension list that takes time on
the first scan through of the registry to build the context menu but is
in memory thereafter (except for the submenues that are still handled by
the handler aka program for a particular shell extension).

Hope you have fun fixing this yourself. I doubt it since it's apparent
you expect a God response from us to describe an immediate fix without
you aiding in the diagnosis of the problem. I won't be surprised you
also do not return to review replies to YOUR inquiry to see this reply.

I read the original message, the subsequent op's attempt for a bit more
clarity and and all others messages. The posting newsreader was not
relevant nor did it impact the replies of others who attempted to help.

This forum and most of usenet will eventually wither away (as will most
of us who were weaned on nntp)...kill filing people (and informing them)
for their choice of newsreader only serves to ensure the demise will
happen sooner.

I don't killfile for mere etiquette violations or bad attitudes (OTOH,
pron or racism or insanity are other issues).

However, when someone's attitude is negative or when their reader
software makes it hard to figure out where their reponse is - and
especially when both are true - I sure won't put in a lot of effort for
the poster.

I had to leave one of my spelling errors uncorrected because it's a
Usenet classic :-)
