i think your onto something..i had every service and start up that was not windows and besides a little bit of wait for the right click options to open, explorer.exe never stopped responding, even after right clicking on icon after icon and going crazy with right clicks in the background, selecting multiple items and right clicking and nothing bad happened, shut down was fine as well.
right now i am just doing the same thing i did with services but with the 3rd party start up programs, after im done ill tell you if the problem is solved or not.
