I'm running WinXP Pro. When ever i right click on a folder
in explorer it takes forever to open up and when i click
on properties it takes even longer to open.

It use not to be that way and i can't think of anything
i've changed to make it do this.

Is there anything that could speed it back up the way it
was?
