Windows Explorer occasionally chokes on "corrupt" files and crashes. I
sometimes have this problem with video files. You can install a different
file manager (google "windows explorer replacement"; some are free) to
access the folder and try to find out which file is the culprit, or you can
just use cmd.exe.

According to some people, the problem can *sometimes* be solved by deleting
the hidden file "Thumbs.db".
