Can't open Word/Excel files via Windows Explorer

I can open them through Office, but not by clicking on the file in Windows
Explorer. I can open Powerpoint files through Explorer as well as PDfs. This
is a new problem...it used to work fine. Actually, they do open but it locks
up Explorer for about 5 minutes (really, I timed it) and then they open. When
I do an AltCtrlDel, it says Windows Explorer is not responding, but it does
after about 5 minutes. Please help me with this weird problem. I already
tried defragging, and it didn't help.
 
Jeannie,
That one was from an ex-MVP (MS Word)
