Would any one know about any Windo XP memory leak. Have left my computer runing, but with nothing open. Come back 8 hr or so and find high memory use. Thanks for any help given.

I have WinXP Pro installed over Win NT4.0, and now find my explorer.exe file running when I check with taskmanager, and it is adding about 4K per second to the memory used, till it maxes out at 155MB out of my 196, with the CPU always running 100%.
