Windows Explorer Locks Up

Windows XP Home Sp.3. All updates.

I am experiencing a problem with Windows Explorer.

It seems to work correctly in all instances of files and folders except one. This particular folder contains many photographs organized into subfolders. Whenever I select the main folder, Explorer locks up and I have to use Task Manager to close it and get the computer operating again.

Strangely, there is a program in the computer having to do with downloading and manipulating files and folders (Canon ZoomBrowser) which has an Explorer-like menu which seems to work OK. Whether or not this actually uses Explorer, I don't know.

Can anyone help me to fix this problem, or at least help me try to diagnose it?

Thank you.

 

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the software and took a look at it. Looks like a good tool to use. Unfortunately I've just had foot surgery and can't spend but a few moments at the computer each day for the next several days. I'll let you know how the Explorer problem turns out.
