The right click can often launch an extended menu that has different tools in it depending on what 3rd party software you have installed (image viewers, cd burning software etc). It could be that one of these pieces of software has corrupted or registry keys are damaged and when xp invokes them to complete the right click menu you end up crashing.
Does it happen no matter what type of file you click on? Have you installed anything new recently and have you tried a system restore??
