Folder problem

[Guest]

I am having a bit of trouble with Windows XP. Whenever I go into a folder and
click on File (for example to create a new folder within the current one)
windows xp just hangs, I have left it for 15 mins at one point and it still
doesn't do anything just get the egg timer.

Does anyone know what causes this and what i can do to fix it?
