Hey guys!
I've seen so many posts about that DAMN ***** problem with EXPLORER.exe (XP)
Now here's the ULTIMATE solution:
Start -> Run -> type in: Regedit

FIND the

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler\

directory and delete the "DEFAULT" key ! ... Voila ! ... Explorer.exe runs at 0-1% on idling !

I'm not the first one to post this solution but well...I was so happy with the fix...damn!:D!Good luck!
