Explorer "stops responding" when deleting a folder

My computer was working fine. The only problem I had was
that a program (Thumbs plus) would start-up unexpectedly
when working in explorer.
I got tired of this so I searched "file types" and found
an entry for the file type TD4 which was associated with
the "Thumbs Plus" program. Since I didn't really care if
this program started up when I clicked on a TD4 file I
decided to remove the "open" association with this
filetype in hopes that it would solve my problem.

Now, I am unable to remove any folder. Whenever I attempt
to remove or rename any folder Explorer "stops responding"
requiring me to "end task".

I am not certain that the change in the file types caused
my problem but it is the only thing I can think of.

Thank you

I am also not able to create a new directory without my
windows locking up. When I "end task" and go back to check
the drive it shows the new directory named "new folder".

I've checked the disk for errors.

I am at a loss.
