    Hey guys. I have this issue that I can't resolve on my own I hope you guys can help me.

    Anytime when I try to right click or open any text file in windows explorer regardless of how big the file size is -the pc would take a long time to respond and it would go into "not responding" then after like 5-10 minutes or so it would open that file.

    I try to disable all the context menu handlers from ShellExView --but that did not help.

    thats the link I went to

    Please help me resolve this annoyance. Thanks.

    You may need to do a repair on the Windows XP:

    This doesn't work if you have a Restore disk. You need the standard XP disk. Here are the steps to do this:

    How do you perform a re-installation of Windows XP, sometimes called a repair installation:

    Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive. For more information about how to do this, refer to your computer's documentation or contact your computer manufacturer. Then insert your Windows XP Setup CD, and restart your computer.

    1. When the Press any key to boot from CD message is displayed on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.

    2. Press ENTER when you see the message To setup Windows XP now, and then press ENTER displayed on the Welcome to Setup screen.

    3. Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.

    4. In the Windows XP Licensing Agreement, press F8 to agree to the license agreement.

    5. Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.

    6. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete Setup.
