Explorers High Processor Usage

[New.Blueyonder]

Has anyone experienced similar problems?

A lot of the time my computer slows right up causing me
frustrating waiting times. Upon opening the Task manager I
see that explorer is taking up 99% of my processor leaving
the remaining 1% for other applications.

I find the only way around this is to actually log of and on again. But
unfortunately the problem soon appears, even if no applications are running.

I have the latest updates of sophos Anti-Virus,Spybot,Zone Alarm Pro and
Anti-Trojan Shield, and they haven't pick up any Viruses or Trojans. My XP
pro is fully patched, and all hardware have latest drivers. I do have kazaa,
but Explorers abnormally high usage appears whether kazza is running or not


XP Pro
XP2800+
2 * 120mg Raid 0 Hard Drives

Thanks in advance for you help
