File Dialog Freezes (Choose File, Open A File, etc...)

My computer has recently started some really annoying behavior. When I open
the File Dialog Window the computer dialog box and app freezes for about 20
to 30 seconds and then works like normal again. If I try it again right away
I don't get the problem. But if I wait lets say 3 or 4 minutes the problem
occurs again.

A concrete example is on a web page where I click browse to open the Choose
File window to select a file I want to upload. Everytime I get the freeze.

Another symptom may be that on folders that I have .sql files in exhibet
this behavior also. For example, I may be drilling down in Windows Explorer
but as soon as I get to a folder with .sql files it temporarily freezes. I
have to wait 3 or so minutes to get the behavior to happen again.

I do not have any mapped network drives, I have removed all My Network
Places except http://localhost which is functional and responsive. I don't
generally get the problem opening via My Computer of Windows Explorer.

Any help would GREATLY be appreciated as not only is this annoying, but as a
developer this is causing me a lot of time during development and testing.

I just wanted to add one more thing. The problem seems real similiar to
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918165 but I have an ATI graphics card and
I don't have any HP products installed. The closest HP product is I
installed a shared printer on a server upstairs but have since removed it.
