I am having this problem recently and I am not sure of the solution.
To solve the problem on the fly one has to start task manager, stop the explorer.exe process, start a new task, type in command.com enter explorer.exe into the Dos window and press enter.
This enables one to carry on using the computer.

Ways to prevent:

I have been told and have found what seems to be the solution:
Type run in the search programs and files(bottom right) click run, enter MSCONFIG, go to startup tab and disable programs that may be causing the problem.
I am not sure I have found the problem program causing this yet but I have disabled a couple of startup programs and the right click freeze seems to be happening less now??
Any comments.

Startup will not fix it, when you right click it brings up a Context Menu, yours has a problem context menu handler installed.

Some software when installed puts context menu handlers in the right click menu.
Most of the time is is one of these 3rd party handlers that causes this issue.

You can either start uninstalling added software, or use this program (ShellExView) to disable context menu handlers one at a time until you find the problematic one, a process of elimination.

I am NOT a Hijack this log inspector but.....
to me it seems clean under the processes tab.
Whats your Graphic card?
Have you installed the correct drivers for it?
Please post the other two logs also.
