Windows Explorer freezes when I try to delete/empty my recycle bin

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and every time I attempt to delete
things or empty my recycle bin, windows is stuck the calculating portion of
the deletion process or it says 0 seconds and 0 bytes left and it will remain
on the screen until I end it with windows task manager. What is even more
frustrating is that it causes explorer to completely freeze up as well. This
occasionally happens when I move files as well. I have tried virus scans but
nothing has come up.

I'm having the same problem. Haven't found any other threads yet. Any
help?

I've also had these issues and just posted a new thread asking for
assistnace. Haven't got to the bottom of why it happens but I know a
quick fix until someone tells us how to get round it properly. Download
a freeby s/w tool called unlocker. After install right click on the file
you want to delete and you will see unlocker as an option. This will
kill host.dll and explorer.exe so you can then delete the file and it
will start explorer again so will be fine. Works everytime but would
rather have a prper fix. Hope this helps someone.
