Explorer is leaking memory and eating CPU

SYSTEM details: latest windows updates installed. Athlon XP 1700+, 1GB RAM.
I just ran out of Memory on my home PC, while compressing a two hour long
WAV file to MP3 in SoundForge 8.0d. Don't blame SoundForge, it's using
only 28MB RAM.
I received the Low Memmory error, and noticed that Explorer is eating 50% of
CPU (the other 50% were for compressing audio in SoundForge). I killed the
Explorer process and noticed that about 400MB of RAM were freed.
1. What should I do the next time? Choose debug in TaskManager to open
VisualStudio 2005 and see what code is running inside Explorer?
2. I noticed that if I kill Explorer, and work without it, the disk
performance in VirtualDubMod will be significantly better, when extracting
audio. Can you tell me of another shell?
3. I'm bored from not being able to delete or move a video file on this and
any other computer running XP. How do I prevent thumbnail preview for video
files?
