Slow Right-Click Fixer

If you get annoyed by how it sometimes takes forever for right-click menus to show up on certain items, this program is your solution (and I'm mostly bookmarking this here so I don't lose the URL).

Hey, what a coincidence. I sumbled upon that one or two weeks ago, too! Brilliant little tool, although it takes some manual registry-tweaking to make things work the way you really might want them to.

I followed directions and disabled the non-microsoft shells, and still have a problem with really slow right clicks. It is also super slow openning some documents (Especially text files with notepad). I know notepad is an huge complex program and all. Anyways, disabling those shells didn't seem to do anything for me. Does anyone have any other ideas?

80% of these delays are in fact due a strange problem, when the action tries first to do a network connection (usually to network stations no longer avaiable).
First try unplugging the network connection and if this solves this delays, try WireShark, start it when you right-click and it will show you the problem, then delete this entry from registry and voila!
