Explorer.exe high CPU

I can't really tell what is happening from the stack. Have you given any more thought to using Process Monitor to track that thread? Maybe it would show what is happening.

I still have not been able to catch a SHLWAPI.dll thread that was looking at the registry and user data. I do have several SHLWAPI.dll WrapperThreadProc threads but none of them show the Explorer.exe and DUser.dll entries yours does.

Let us know if Process Monitor helps any...

Sorry for my late reply, i was at my girlfriends place this weekend and i folowed this thread on my phone but dint see the second page.

I dont really know how to track a thread in processexplorer, if i knew i would love to do it because i would do anything at this point to solve it.
When you compare my SHLWAPI.dll thread without the problem and your SHALWAPI.dll thread do they look alike or are there some weird entries there as well?
Also i think ill try doing a clean install of my graphics drivers again, maybe it'll help.
And maybe i can restore my pc to an earlier point, but im not sure this will solve it indefinitely, because after i install everything again what is stoping it from happening again, and ill have to reinstall all of my programs and setings.
That is why im hasitant towards doing an restore point.

I also want to say thanks for thinking with me on this problem, your help is much appreciated.

Mine look about like yours, I just do not have a SHLWAPI that mentions the registry. I was hoping you would see a .ocx or something that might be actually using the CPU cycles, but I do not know where to go from here, except to try Process Monitor.
