...doesn't qualify as posting your specs.

:rolleyes:

Explorer.exe occupies exactly 0% CPU on both my gaming PC and my P3 500 laptop when browsing local disks. Perhaps you should disable indexing?

stop being a nazi.. this is a software problem anyway

britney speared: post a pic of your task manager opened (when explorer.exe is 99% loaded
 
Its a pet peeve. :shrug:

Can you achieve a screenshot when the system is bogged down by its own shell? That might be harder than you think.
