Windows 7 Explorer Lockup
I'm so happy! I've had a chronic problem with Windows 7 for a build or two now (including RTM). Every time I would create a new folder in Explorer, it would hang for a minute or so before coming back. Then I realized that it was actually the rename operation that was the culprit. Any file rename would cause the window to hang. Strangely, if I checked at a command prompt it was immediately renamed. The final weirdness was that a rename worked instantly from a command prompt. So what was Explorer doing?
It turns out that the issue is NVIDIA's extensions. If you download ShellExView you can view all shell extensions and disable them at will. I disabled the NVIDIA ones, restarted Explorer (from task manager) and it works great now!

Is Explorer the only application that freezes? If not, I'd suggest that it might be a hardware/IRQ problem and to check your device manager for anything that stands out. If anything, it's a drive or partition and Explorer is having to 'poll' the drive, finding error(s) and causing it to hang. Or, it's a network drive or device?
