Did you read the instructions outlined in the article I posted earlier?

Run ShellExView and once it's completed its search, click on the Type column
twice.
Look in the list for those items listed as Context Menu types. That's the ones
you should be concerned about, not the entire list.
One at a time, right click the Context Menu items highlighted in pink and
disable them. Check to see if you still have the slow right click behavior. If
you do, go back and enable that item. Continue this process for the remainder of
the non-Microsoft context menu items.

Good luck
