A user here running XP Pro developed a problem last evening.
When he tries to delete any file in Windows Explorer, it hangs the system.
Obviously, the problem is not with MS Updates or software as I originally
thought, but profile specific.
Try these.
1. Open My Computer
2. Click on the Tools menu and select Folder Options...
3. Under Folder Options select the View tab.
4. Uncheck the very first box that reads "Automatically search for
network folders and printers".
5. Click "Apply" or "OK"
