"slow" right-click on a "fast" computer..

I bought this computer about a year ago:
2.59Ghz; 768 MB of RAM; 143 Gig h.d.; running Windows XP

since i've had it, for some reason, when i right-click on the desktop, the right-click menu takes forever to appear (about 4 seconds). On most other computers, including my old computer, this menu appears alomst instantly.

i have this problem even when there are no programs running.. and other that this, everything's fine. it's not really a "problem", but it is kind of annoying.. and doesn't make any sense to me.

what is the deal? is there anything i can do to speed things up?

hope someone out there understands what i'm talking about and can lend some advice.. thanks!

My System

It will take some digging to find the problem.

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