Perhaps you have uncovered a bug in one of the updates - especially since
you claim to be using a non-standard folder display for Windows Explorer.

If you go to Add/Remove programs you should find
Windows XP Hotfix - KB872942

This is described at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/872942

If you scroll down this web page you will find a reference to
872942 FIX: Windows Explorer leaks memory when you use the Windows Explorer
tree view to browse different folders in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

So you may do a little experimenting and see what happens if you remove
(temporarily)
Windows XP Hotfix - KB872942 using Add/Remove programs.
