CPU Usage Peaks at >95% upon switching users

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have what I hope is a simple problem. I have Windows XP Professional.
When one person logs off the computer and another person logs on, the
explorer.exe peaks at greater than 95% when viewed from the windows task
manager, thus slowing down all other applications when using the computer.
The only way I found to stop this is physically turn off, then turn on the
computer... which has become an annoyance. However, recently I have needed
to turn the computer off and on several times so explorer.exe does not go up
to almost 100% CPU Usage. Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this
problem?

Thanks and very grateful,
Carl
