Hello there.
I just reinstalled my Windows Vista Business 32bit yesterday because everytime I open an explorer window (and no other explorer is open, so a new process instance is created) the window hangs for about 4-5 seconds, that's very annoying. I should mention that I enabled the setting "Launch folder windows in a separate process" in the folder options.
After reinstallation of Windows (and all updates), I began reinstalling all my standard programs, including Spybot. After every program-installation I checked if the explorer hangs to find out which program is causing this.
And just after installation of Spybot, the problem occurs. I have chosen to install everything but TeaTimer, and disabled the integration in the windows security center. Even after uninstallation of Spybot (and a restart), the problem stays. Fortunately, I created a system restore point before the installation, so I could roll everything back. After resetting the system to this restore point, the system works fine again.
So, what settings or files stay in the system even after uninstalling of Spybot? I don't want to miss this great program, but waiting that long for just opening an explorer window annoying. The installed version is Spybot 1.6.2 and I dare to say, that this did not happen in previous versions, I would have noticed that.
Comments and suggestions are very appreciated, thank you all!
