that spikes during the activity. I tried to end the explorer process and
nothing, but if i start a new process of explorer the windows work ok.

Copy and paste the following into your Notepad and save as explorer.reg on
your Desktop and then right click it and select merge to merge to your
registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="explorer.exe"

Reboot your machine, does it help?
If it doesn't then try to run this command:
sfc /scannow

Ignore any posts made by the Stalker Leythos, he's still in love with me.
He started stalking me after I spurned his advances towards me.
He said he would stop Stalking me If I stopped mentioning his name.
As you can see that does not work. He is a sick obsessive STALKER.

Hi,

Check to see if this box is checked, if so uncheck it.

Control Panel/Folder Options/View

Automatically search for network folders and printers

Also check Start/Run - msconfig and services - uncheck accordingly.

are you running AVG or Zonealarm? if so, disable them one at a time
to
determine if one is the culprit.
 
I´m not using AVG or Zonealarm. The XP taskar (explorer) freezes or hangs
after the xp being reinstall and keeps doing that after all the XP updates
are done.
