It appears when I right-click a folder there is a delay (little hour glass
spinning) for a longer period of time. It may be from adding "Zoner Draw
3" and would like to remove it to see. Where do I find the right-click
folder and could that be the delay?

Temporary Decline in Performance Occurs When You Right-Click a File or
Folder in Windows Explorer

When you right-click a file or folder in Windows Explorer, the CPU
usage goes to 100 percent while the shortcut menu is displayed. CPU
usage returns to the correct level when the shortcut menu is closed.
To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods.
Method 1
Turn off the transition effects for menus and ToolTips. To do this,
follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In Control Panel, double-click Display, and then click the Appearance
tab. On the Appearance tab, click Effects.
In the Effects dialog box, click to clear the Use the following
transition
effect for menus and tooltips check box, and then click OK two times.

Method 2
Click the folder or file that you want (select it) before you
right-click it


Good luck

I couldn't have gotten better help. I am guilty re Method #2. (I Move
too fast.) However I did do as suggested in Method #1. The problem
settled and I thank you vey much.
