Explorer.exe Freezing

Running Windows Vista 64-Bit, and the past week or so, I'll do something - open a folder, program, whatever - and things will just freeze up. That window will stop responding, and it will say such (Not Responding). The end result being either I wait for it to tell me such and ask me to restart explorer.exe, or I manually do it. The system isn't crashing, it's just locking up a specific window at a time and requiring me to end/reset explorer.exe to clear the freeze, at which point I can try again and it usually works. But why is it happening at all?
