Re: Disk activity ervery second prevents hibernation

The "system32\wbem\Repository" is part of the "Windows Management
Instrumentation" (WMI). Some app might be using the Management Console to
use some "Snap In".
Start/run, type:
MMC

Great piece of advice !
I disabled pretty much everything I could including printer port and
almost
all spurious IOs stopped.
By re-enabling the devices one by one, I could narrow it down to a VPN
tool
called Kerio.

I still have explorer.exe doing QueryFullSizeInformationVolume once in a
while on C:\ and D:\, and svchost.exe doing FlushBuffersFile on
D:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository\FS\OBJECTS.MAP and INDEX.MAP and
MAPPING.VER

So I'd welcome any further great ideas, and in the meantime I'll have a
look
at the remaining devices, although I'm now running short of things to
disable.

In any case, the most nagging issue is solved, thanks a lot.

a camera or wireless device driver. I would temporarily disable any
unnecessary hardware in device manager to test.

XP Pro SP2, latest updates

People are complaining that their notebooks are running through
batteries.
Looking at what's going on with Process Monitor I notice this instance
of
svchost.exe, allways the same kicking off every 4 seconds and doing a
Thread
Create and a Thread Exit.
Looking at the services under that instance, I get a list of about 40.

Is there a way to find out which service is causing all those IOs ?

The file being accessed is WINDOWS\system32\config\system.log

Also explorer.exe is looking for "netshellicon" in the PATH directories
and
not finding it, also about every 4 seconds.

I'd be grateful for any help (and yes Indexing is turned off)
