Can't help you if we don't know your PC specs! What HDD/Motherboard/CPU/SSD/etc etc are you using? It could be the result of a number of errors.

i5 4690K, MSI B85-G43 Gaming MOBO, 240GB SanDisk SSD, 8GB of 1866 RipJ ram, Coolermaster hydro cpu cooling, Asus 750 Ti GPU and a Antec 620w PSU

Remember to be a good citizen and choose a 'best answer' when your problem has been resolved!

(that way people know when a problem's been resolved)

Could very well be a piece of software that has added a new filetype to the "Create New..." list which Windows is doing checks on each time you open it.

Is this a fresh install of Windows, NO updates or installed software?

There's something in your context menu that has been recently added that is causing the slowdown. That, or broken links (e.g. inaccessible mapped network drive shortcut) on your desktop are known to cause issues such as these.
