I' running W2K3 x64 on a twin dual core AMD64 ssytem.

From time to time (for reasons which elude me) Windows Explorer starts
hogging 100% of a CPU (actually it's 25% of the total CPU with most of it
on one core, but you know what I mean).

This seems to happen every couple or 3 days and a restart fixes it.

The irritation is obviously that I lose the task bar and other niceties.

Any ideas about this?

Any way to track this down?

Thanks

Mine has a problem when the internet connection bubble appears. Hope you
have some luck with a reply. I haven't had any luck. Have you tried using
Task Manager to stop and then relaunch Explorer.exe Stop on processes page
and restart on Applications page.
