KB : Internet Explorer hangs when accessing files Problem
Microsoft KB on IE hanging can be found here :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816769/en-us

they are saying that accessing the same files after closing explorer and reopening, you the that IE shuts down but it did not and it is trying to access the file which is still used by the previous session.
The fix is to download XP service pack, there is no special hot fix for this problem, but this is a confirmed problem.

Flgall is writing on the same problem on his blog, his problem was on win98 and with a corrupt oleauto32.dll

Another user suggests reseting IE7, under "Tools -> Advanced", and clicking "Reset" button.
