I have a Win98 SE machine, everytime I go into Windows Explorer and try to delete a directory and/or file it locks up and hangs for about 5 minutes. It does the same thing when I try and empty the recycle bin afterwards.

Go to system tools, run "system file checker" if any files are found to be corrupt restore them using your install disc.
