So looking at Process Explorer (from Microsoft Sysinterals), the Explorer.exe
process shows that BrowseUI.dll and ntdll.dll are taking about 60% and 40% of
the CPU. The Hardware Interrupts piece under System Idle Process also shows
3% sometimes whil this problem is occuring. As soon as I click to a non root
directory, the browseui and ntdll go down to 0 and the Hardware Interrupt
goes to 0 % CPU.

Thanks for any help. AL
