Default Desktop Right-click Context Menu

Until recently everything on my W98 system behaved
normally - but now when I bring up the right-click
context menu and select "New" (looking to create a new
Shortcut for instance) there is a delay of about a second,
then Explorer crashes! No sub-menu items appear... just
the hesitation prior to the standard "Explorer - This
program has performed an illegal function and will be
closed down etc" error message.
I suspect something has hosed my registry - but I have no
idea what to look for.
Can anyone illuminate me please?

try a viewer to see whether any unwanted 'hooks' exists.

Sort by 'Company'. That should give you a clue.
