Right click menu shows but very slow to open

When I right click on a folder on my desktop the menu opens but it takes like 2 to3 seconds to open. Only doing this on a Folder though. If I right click on my taskbar or an open space on my desktop the menu opens immediately. Just folders or shortcut Icons it loads slow. So I tried going into the registry here....HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > Directory > Background > Shellex > ContextMenuHandlers ....and deleted everything except New and Workfolder. Didnt help the folder right click menu showing slow though. Anyone else have this issue and if you found a fix please let me know thank you.

I had that problem (or one very like it) a couple of years ago, and fixed it by using Nir Sofer's ShellExView program. Tiny, requires no installation, and gives you a close-up of things in there that you might have missed in your registry weeding. Sofer says this about it:

The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions
installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable
each shell extension.

ShellExView can be used for solving context-menu problems in Explorer
environment. For more information, read the following article:
Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

You might give it a try. Nirsoft.net.

Just get rid of that Show more options right click menu, and start using the full right click menu. It should take care of your issue.
