Right click not responding on desktop / taking too much time (solved)

Windows 7 x64 bit

Right click on desktop just stops responding, right clicking on files still worked.

After some searching, this helped me.
- Download shellviewer (small file, check online, title: shexview-x64 (zip))
- Run it (directly from zip is ok)
- use the columns to sort all those shells that are not from microsoft corporation (some may be above this in alphabetical order and others below)
- select all and right click and disable
- Try if right click works now (it worked for me)
- select those again and enable it

Additional:
What to do when the mouse freezes after right click?
- ctrl + shift + esc --> opens task manager --> go to windows explorer (if mouse works here, or using keyboard)
- right click and end this task
- windows + r (if this works) or file option in task manager and new task
- type explorer.exe and enter
- Now the mouse and windows explorer are refreshed and you can try the above solution

Feel free to comment if you have better solutions or need help.
