Right-click one specific folder... is very slow

I've read a lot of previous posts about right-clicking folders hanging
the computer but this isn't quite the same thing.

I have just one folder that this happens to and it doesn't hang the
computer, it just takes 20 minutes to display the context menu. And it
only happens on the newest computer I've purchased, a HP DC7700 Core Duo
E4400. I got it a few days ago. No other computers on the network have
this problem.

The folder is a shared folder on another computer on the network. Both
computers are XP Pro SP2 and are part of a domain running AD. I have
administrator rights on both machines. The XP firewall is turned off on
both. During this 20 minute wait the CPU hovers around 1%.

I can right-click the computer name. I can right-click subfolders under
the offending folder. I can right-click everything on the network except
this one folder. And when I map this folder as a drive letter in a login
script, that takes 20 minutes to complete when I log in. Once it's
mapped I can right click it, but if I right click it in Network
Neighborhood I wait 20 minutes.

Anyone have any clues?

TIA,
