You get a fresh recycle bin for each reinstall you perform- i had 8 on 1 drive not long ago, they yook up over 30 Gig of space! You also get an extra set of restore points in your System Volume Information folder in the root of each drive, these can take gigabytes of space on any partition that you don't reformat frequently.
What's in the folder you are right clicking on (pictures, movies,program files etc) ? What folder view options have you got set?
I found hat right clicking a folder with a LOT of jpeg's or bitmaps in can crash explorer if you have faulty memory. not saying yours is faulty though!
