Win Explorer locks the files for a looong time

With Windows XP Pro, when I select any file or folder, Win Explorer locks
completely that file or folder and cannot be renamed, moved, or deleted.
This lock can last for between 25 seconds and a minute. That happens with
all the files (.avi, .mp3, .mpeg, .doc, etc.) Takes a looong time. That
happens when I deal for the first time in a session inside any folder. If I
keep the folder open, the situation does not occur when I select next other
files or folders in it. Why? What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks for
your help.
