Explorer is using too much!

Hello there!

I got a pretty big problem, explorer.exe is using a lot more than it should use.
It hadn't caused any problems since I changed my OS to Vista, but now it started using a lot CPU.I can't figure out why, and I need help.
In the beginning, it used like 0~3% CPU.Now, without any auxiliary programs running in the background. it uses 40~60%, so my CPU usage is 55~75%.I've got an Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz, HyperThreading(to be fully understood, I don't have any problems with my memory"Physical Memory").
As I run many programs, I usually close explorer.exe from Task Manager to continue the work.
I thought a potential answer would be Windows Dreamscene, but soon as I closed it, nothing changed.
Please help me figure out how to make explorer consume less, as in the beginning.

Try MS knowledge base. Also you don't give any details if you have SP1 or original Vista, any fixes or whatever. It sounds familiar so I bet there's a fix on MS site. Check the KB articles.
