Explorer.exe freaks out!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi all,

I have WinXP Home SP2. After some hours running the PC, the explorer.exe
task shoots up to 98%-99% CPU usage and remains there. I've run Norton AV
many times and it found nothing.

What else can it be?

Thanks,
Ivan
