Uh-oh! Right-click desktop icon >> white screen

Well, folks, the honeymoon is over. This annoying
problem is definitely an OS issue.

T7700 (Core2Duo), 4GB, Vista Business with SP1, and it's
been mighty fine!

Since installing SP1, when I right-click a desktop icon,
I'll sometimes get the spinning blue ring leading to
Explorer failure (followed by self-recovery). It's
inconsistent, and I don't know what conditions are
required to replicate the problem.

Any ideas from the experts?

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

OK - thanks! I downloaded that tool and will give it a
try. My son is still young enough to know everything, so
perhaps I'll ask him for help...
