Delete file - XP Hangs

Hi All,

A user here running XP Pro developed a problem last evening.
When he tries to delete any file in Windows Explorer, it hangs the system.

Curiously, when I log on with my profile, I can delete the same files with
no problem. All users are local Admins.
Obviously, the problem is not with MS Updates or software as I originally
thought, but profile specific.

Any suggestions please?
