RE: 100% CPU Utilization

It turns out that I had off line files on for my photo, music, etc. folders.
It was trying to synch a lot of data for off line viewing. When I disabled
off line files the issue was resolved.

Re: 100% CPU Utilization...How?

How did you disable the off line viewing? I'm not having this problem but
the info may come in handy.
