My windows XP has experienced a long delay when I make a right-click on a file from the windows explorer. Also makes a delay when i try to open a file. For example double click on a word document. (30 seconds delay). Can anybody help me?

With time and use, your computer can become a bit disorganized. As the info stored in your computer gets used, moved, copied, added to, or deleted, the computer's drives can become cluttered with useless or inefficiently organized files. Deframentation speeds up disk performance.
Right-click on the desired drive in My Computer->Properties->Tools tab->Deframent Now button.
Hope this helps. Bye

Hi, It may not be a fragmentation issue, although I would have a shot at that first. I also have the same problem, right click a doc, right click the task bar, open a doc or move a doc using the new menu on the left - all of these operations cause me to freeze for over a minute sometimes.
Can anyone help? My machine is only a month old (hence I question the use of a defrag), Dell Inspiron 8100, 1.8ghz with 256 megs of RAM - surely my problem isnt RAM ?
