System hangs while creating new folder or shortcut in XP

[bilkiraco]

When I select to create a new folder or shotcut the PC hangs for about
1.5 minutes. Not sure what is causing this.

Possibly a 3rd-Party software Shell Extension. These are the items that
appear when you Right Click a file/folder, such as "Scan with AntiVirus".
There is a tool you can download/use to locate the software that hooks
into Explorer operations:

*Would rate it's complexity/use at around 6 out 10, to help you decide
whether to attempt to use it for your issue.

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