The system program explorer.exe begins using 70-80% of the cpu as shown in
task manager, shortly after booting up the computer, while the computer is
idle. It allows other programs to run fine, but as soon as they are complete
it goes back to running 70-80% again! How can I fix this? This does not
happen on my other computers.
