Common behavior if Hotbar is installed. If this is the case, run the edit
listed below:

Hotbar - Windows Explorer/New/Folder Freezes (Line 206)

If this is not the case try these suggestions:

Right click a blank area on the Desktop/Properties/Appearance
/Effects. In the Effects dialog box, click to clear the: "Use the following
Transition effect for menus and tooltips check box, and ok your way out.
And/or: Click the folder or file that you want (select it) before you
right-click it to display the shortcut menu.

Lastly run the two edits on line 157 from here:
