Cannot rename, delete or move folders with Explorer

since recently, my Windows XP installation (German with all service packs
and updates) on my IBM THinkPad T42 shows a strange effect. i cannot rename,
move or delete folders using the Explorer. from the command line, everything
works as usual. it does not matter where in the file system i try this or
under which user account. it does not even work if a log on as
administrator. the really bad thing is, there is no error message or entry
in the event log. for example, if i create a new folder, it just gets the
name "Neuer Ordner" (which is german for "New Folder"), because i cannot
rename it after the Explorer created it. there is really no sign of an error
anywhere. i click on the folder which i want to rename, press F2, type in
the new name, press ENTER and it still has its old name.
i checked the access rights for the file, but they are all right. i have
full control. i even checked this using the evective access rights tab.
since all commands work from the command line, it cannot be a problem with
the access rights i guess.
i even tried to install service pack 2 again, but it did not help either. i
have really no idea what else i could try.
i also compared the files explorer.exe and shell32.dll with files of another
system which works, but these files are identical.
i haven't installed any new software right before this happened. i also
checked the system for viruses, but there are none.
any idea?
arethere some entries in the registry which may be wrong?
