explorer.exe high cpu/memory usage

Hello,

I am running Vista 32 Enterprise and am having a problem when I browse some network shares. When I enter the UNC and pull up my file share my explorer.exe will start consuming all of my memory/cpu.

If I map a drive to the same path I can open the files and browse the folder all day long without any issue.

On my devices with 2GB of memory the system becomes unusable and with my 4GB devices I can still use the system but almost all of the physical memory is taken up by explorer.exe

To fix the problem I can either reboot the device or kill explorer.exe and the re run it.

I have a call in to Microsoft enterprise support but they are not able to assist at all (so far) so I thought I would branch my search for help out even more.

Also of note that my environment has a mix of W2K device and Vista - the W2K machines do not exhibit this issue.

Any tips/hints or direction would be most welcome.

Thanks
