[Windows XP] Explorer.exe is using the CPU at 99% or100%






Then fact that Windows Explorer is using CPU resources at 99% or a 100% may be due to a bug :Windows usually calculate the duration of all videos on the disk, causing the Explorer.exe process to use almost 100% of CPU or memory resources.

To solve the problem of CPUs to 100%, firstly disable the previews:

Start / Run / regsvr32-u shmedia.dll


Then edit the registry (Start / Run / regedit), then delete the following:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \ (87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850D C73E) \ InProcServer32"


For systems, the key is in the following location:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ CLSID \ (87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E)


Just rename the making preceded by a minus sign (-):

- (87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E)
