Hopefully you have done a complete virus scan with new definition files.
From MS KB 819946:
You can avoid this problem by turning off either of the settings that are listed in the "Cause" section of this article. To do this, use one of the following methods:
Method 1: Turn Off the "Fade or Slide Menus into View" Visual Effect
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System (or double-click the System icon).
On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Performance.
On the Visual Effects tab, click to clear the Fade or slide menus into view check box.
Click OK.
Method 2: Use Classic Windows Folders
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options (or double-click the Folder Options icon).
On the General tab, click Use Windows classic folders.
Click OK.

bcastner, read somewhere(can't recollect right off hand) that MS told one user to about CPU usage being extensive when he udsed the rightclick instead of "left-click, then right-click" method. Will this work with the single-click option?
Right now, you occupy a point where three lines reach across the expanse of time and space and intersect only there, and that you and only you possess.

compgirlfhredi,
There was a recent discussion here that I unforutantely cannot find. The advice you are thinking of is what they always tell linney when he complains about the speed of the context menus in XP.
The closest to encapsulating the advice is this MS KB:
They do suggest the left click first, then right click as a workaround. I call it the linney workaround.
