Windows Explorer takes forever to show folder contents

When Windows Explorer (XP2, SP2) tries to show a folder containing many
large MS Word files or many other files (such as images, icons, etc),
it takes forever to open/render. The effect is one of the machine
hanging (in fact, the Windows Explorer process shows as "Not
Responding" in the task manager).

Similarly, dialog boxes that contain many very large Word documents or
many other documents take forever to open/render.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance
