Windows Explorer keeps restarting

Windows XP Home.
I'll have one or more "My Computer" windows open, and sometimes, not all the time but just enough to be annoying, Windows Explorer (I assume) locks up and has to restart. It SEEMS to be connected to the "Browse" function in File "Copy To" or "Move To" and unpacking a ZIP file.
Symptoms:
Computer freezes, sometimes for a moment, sometimes maybe 15 seconds. Usually just a couple of seconds.
All of "My Computer" windows close, an old wallpaper shows up, then the Desktop is rebuilt. This part only takes a couple seconds.
Open programs seem unaffected, no damage to anything that I can find.
This is a newer ABSPC computer, and this is a new trick it has learned.
