The process that runs at 100% is 'explorer.exe' and is represented as
follows:
Process - explorer.exe
PID - 1564
CPU - 100.00
Description - Windows Explorer
Company Name - Microsoft Corporation
Right clicking the selected process and selecting 'google' takes one to
the following link:
www.google.com/search?q=explorer.exe
This turns out to be general details about 'Windows Explorer' but
nothing specific in regards to what is causing the 99-100% processor
usage.
Is there more to how one can use this tool to identify what is causing
Windows Explorer consume 99-100% CPU usage?

Cool. Will update with info once received on the 99-100% CPU usage
scenario for the benefit of all.

Click on the process that running at 99%, once it highlighted, right click
and from the options listed select: google
This should display what out there on the web about the process.

Thanks.
Looking at screenshots when the reported problem occurs, the
application runs as a single separate process whose CPU usage and
memory consumption is normal. The abnormality lies on the separate
explorer.exe process which consumes 99-100% CPU.
Query: Using this tool, in a Treeview format view and the listing off
explorer.exe, how can one know exactly which application is making
Windows Explorer misbehave?

You need to find the specific process in that custom app that's taking
all
the CPU resources.
Try Process Explorer:

Hi,
Have a problem where computers running a custom application are
experiencing machine freezes with Explorer.exe running at 99-100% CPU
usage for extended periods.This renders the custom application
unusable.
The workaround is to kill the explorer.exe process or reboot the
machine. This incidents seem to be of a random nature and occur on
multiple PCs. The OS's on this PCs are Win2K and WinXP SP2.
Following is a list of findings so far as to the possible causes of
this problem. None of them seems to have eliminated the incidents I'm
reporting:-
1. Hardware device or undetected hardware problems e.g. USB devices
2. Presence of a virus which takes on the form of explorer
Ref: http://www.computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/14619.html
3. Bugs with anti-virus programme updates like OfficeScan/TrendMicro
e.g. Ref:

4. Presence of a corrupt AVI file on the server or client PC(s)
Ref: http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-8540.html
5. A bug with Microsoft products where Explorer.exe uses 100 Percent of
the CPU When You Right-Click an Item in Windows Explorer.
Ref: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=837115
6. A bug with Microsoft products where Windows Stops Responding When
You Click a Large AVI File in Windows Explorer.
Ref:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822430&Product=winxp
Is there anyone else who has experienced their Windows Explorer running
at 99-100% CPU usage? If so, what measure(s) were successfully
undertaken to address this?
As I look deeper into this issue, I'd appreciate any further
information based on your experiences with this issue.
Thank you.
