Very slow

I have Windows XP Professional, and find that every time I try to access a
folder in windows explorer, it takes a very long time, sometimes as long as
five minutes, for it to display the folder, and these aren't large, some of
them with maybe 4-5 files. I didn't have this problem with Windows 2K is
there anything I can do to make this go faster?

The first you computer's memory enough? Circulate XP_Pro minimal demand
256M memory.
second, Check once whether have too many procedures to start with the
system,open regedit, Find out :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

The third, whether infect spyware??

Expel a hardware problem!!

It maybe due to insufficient memory. You could also run the disk
defragmenter and see if it helps.
