    Picked up this little note some time ago:

    Explorer 100% utilization in Windows XP

    Problem:
    Right clicking on a file in Windows Explorer causes 100% CPU utilization on
    Windows XP. This only happens on files that have not been selected first with a
    left mouse click. This problem is reproducible on Pentium 3 and Pentium 4
    machines of varying speed, does not happen on Pentium 2 systems.

    Workaround:
    Go to: Control Panel > Display > Appearance Tab > Effects Button and *disable*
    (uncheck) the transition effects....
