Re: windows exporer in overdrive

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Perhaps that's why the OP parenthesized iexplore.exe i.e. to make CLEAR
which prog. was being talked about ! !!!

....suggestions along the lines of some maintenance, clear TIF and temp
directories, full a/v / anti-malware sweeps :-)
....and a chkdsk, and a defrag as well ....
.....wouldn't have gone amiss !!

regards, Richard

I would like to know what's going on when windows explorer (iexplore.exe)
goes into overdrive, hogging 50% of my CPU capacity and slowing my
computer
down to an intolerable crawl when I visit certain websites that seem
totally
safe, like huffington.com. Can anyone explain this bad behavior to me and
tell me how to correct it?


Iexplore.exe is Internet Explorer, not Windows Explorer. Which are you
talking about?
