FYI, ShellExView runs fine under Windows Vista as well. Make sure you run it as administrator.
Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:

I have had the same problem running Vista 64 Ultimate, already had rebuild
my system and do not want to do it again since had to call their overseas
center to do it.
Right click on a desktop icon or right clicking in Windows Explorer take for
ever, after a while explorer says it quit responding. If you click on
something else the screen is covered in a white veil. Click again and your
get a option to close program or restart program. Problem Reports and
Solutions has recorded this problem quite a few times since this started.
Have looked all over the net to find solutions but most that worked refer
back to XP using a third party program (shexview.exe) from Nirsoft for fixing
the problem, nothing for Vista users. I did try the solution but had no
luck. There a lot of users looking for solutions, including another thread
here.
Maybe enough reports will go to MS, the real solution shouldn't be to reload
software, which I tried to do with a backup using F8 but for some reason it
didn't see my backup so it didn't give a choice. I have no desire to go back
to XP 64 which had its problems too.
