Windows 7 Windows 7 Explorer/Documents folders locking up, not responding when using keyboard

[BlueSuitcase]

I hope this has not been asked before, I have been searching the internet for the past few days for answers to this problem and haven't found anything yet. Randomly in the past few days Windows 7 explorer/my documents folder/anywhere in my computer locks up and stops responding when I try to use my keyboard. No matter what I try to do, renaming documents, using ctrl-c, pressing shift, using any key on the keyboard, it locks up. I have tried running windows updates, running virus scanning, spyware scanning....nothing will work. Is anyone else having this problem and been able to solve it?

You stated that windows explorer was not responding and asked for help. Later you stated to nevermind, that you had found the answer.
What is the answer? I have the same problem.

Thanks for your help - ajojoel
