Oh, one more thing, if this helps: the SharePoint site was just migrated from
a different one (perhaps an earlier version?). The previous site caused no
problems. I could map a network drive to it, and it didn't cause any slowing
down. The new site has more security, so we can't map a network drive to it.
(I also can't use IE because we have a fairly deep directory structure, and I
need to be able to move and transfer a large number of files at a time to
different folders AND be able to see what I'm doing. However, this is another
story altogether.) This is the procedure I used to get the Web folder to show
up in Windows Explorer:

If I double-click one of the subfolders in the right pane, the entire
"Shared Documents" structure then shows up in "My Computer/Web Folders" in
addition to My Network Places.
