right click context menu slow

Hi,
I am running Win XP SP2, Lite 1.5.0.2. When I right click on a file, the pop-up context menu pop up very slowly. It is noticably slower than doing the same thing in windows explorer. I had the same problem with the Pro version as well. I switched back to the lite version hoping that it will solves the problem but it didn't.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
P.K.

does it matter what kind of file (type) you click on, or how many files are selected?

No it doesn't. I wonder though if this is a Windows thing. The speed differs from day to day. On the context menu there are a lot of items and sub items. There are lots of "send to" options, for example as I have several small utilities install.

Does windows caches that list of what's available on the context menu? Or it is built each time? Another thing is that I move (my laptop) around a lot onto different networks (all windows workgroup though) and I wonder if Windows is looking for things that are on the network.

Thanks,
P.K.

there's an easy test for you: if other 3rd party file managers have the same slowdown then it must be something with your system.
