| Ever since I began running XP, I have noticed that If I browse to a folder with a large number of
video/media files, the explorer.exe task begins utilizing 99% of my CPU. This seems to occur no matter how the
files are displayed, whether it be in an icon/thumbnail mode, or in the simplest mode possible, where it only
lists the filenames. The only way I can correct the issue temporarily is to end the explorer task and reload.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
