Right Click Menu Speed - solution Monday, January 15, 2007 at 6:59 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve Naughton (1 messages posted) These solutions did not quite work for me but here's what did: 1) run Ethereal (free packet sniffer) and monitor your main network interface (in Ethereal, menu: Capture/Interfaces...) 2) right click on a file that causes the slow response 3) in Ethereal you should get a few ARP packets. The Info column lists the IP address it is trying to connect to. 4) Using NirSoft's RegScanner, search for this IP address in your registry. You should find several keys with the name .../shell/open/command with a default value containing the IP address. For me, there were four keys referring to a single exe located on a machine that was turned off. I deleted the default key values and immediately the delay went away.
