Windows Explorer freezes on right click

[barryrosen]

Explorer.exe crashes when I right click on a folder. I've run Event Viewer and see Application Hang Event ID 1002 (101). That doesn't tell me anything about what is hanging as far as I can determine. Any advice would be appreciated.

FIX: The Explorer.exe process stops responding (hangs) when you use Windows Explorer that hosts a shell extension that was created by using MFC
