Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:

Many times lately, when I try to do some function in Windows Explorer,
especially if I highlight a file or file and right-click, or if I highlight
a file or files and press the delete button, I get an endless hourglass.
The only way I can get out of it is to CTRL-ALT-DEL to Task Manager, and
highlight Explorer, and end the process. Then I go to "File", "New Task"
(still in Task Manager), type in Explorer, Enter, and Explorer starts again.
What could be causing this problem? How can I fix it?
Thank you very much to anyone who can help with this.
