Slow Right Clicking and Deleting in Win Explorer -

Whenever I right click on a file, no matter which hard drive im using, it takes forever and a day for the little menu with Copy, Cut, Delete, Properties, etc to come up, same goes for when I just click a file and hit delete - it takes forever once again for the confirm delete box to come up. Though, it takes no time to open anything by double clicking. Any idea what's going on here? Help!!!

Thanks!

Also, it doesnt take any time at all to cut or copy things by clicking and dragging, just by using the delete key and by right clicking on files, ***???

Right clicking on the desktop and other places like forms, etc, renders no problems.

Its not specific files either to a specific drive, even shortcuts on another drive does it...any ideas?
