517665 2007-01-19 21:00:00 Is this when you straight up right-click on the file? What happens if you left-click once to select the file then right-click?

Theres a bug that was fix in (I think) SP2, mighta been SP1 though... where basically in XP if you right-click on a file without left-clicking on it first, it'll send your CPU Usage sky-high! Random I know, but Ive tried it on multiple PCs
Have you also tried using TweakUI to modify the delay when showing the right-click menus etc?

Just checked, and it is running faster than it did before.
