window explorer.exe ues too much cpu

[jjw]

every few days i find that explorer.exe suddenly uses a lot of cpu (> 30%)
continuously. i noticed this on many machines in my office. i first noticed
this problem shortly after ie7 began showing up on desktops. i kept one
machine from getting ie7 and explorer.exe never took much cou. then one day
someone downloaded and installed ie7 and then explorer.exe started using a
lot of cpu on that machine. any thoughts on a fix ?
