freeze in drop-down menus

When I go to "save as..." or "open" in any program, the
dialogue box comes up. But when I hit the drop down menu
at the top to scroll up to the desktop, the system
freezes for an inordinate amount of time (up to 2
minutes) before finally letting me navigate to the right
folder...any idea why this is? Is my folder tree
corrupted? How do I fix?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Are you on a network and do u have any mapped drives in the computer. when
u open the drop down list box, Explorer must refresh itself to update the
contents of the mapped drive and whether it is accessible.
