706823 2008-09-22 01:17:00 Just started noticing last night that whenever I open up a folder cpu usage peaks to about 60% and stays there till i navigate a couple of folders deep.
I used process explorer to watch explorer.exe and browseui.dll is the culprit behind all the cpu usage. I had a little look around on the net, and found nothing definitive about cause or fix.
Using vista 64 business
Anyone got any ideas on where to look now?

If its there. That seemed to have fixed someone's PC, who had the same prob

706825 2008-09-22 02:18:00 That dude i saw pop up a couple of times on google, did nothing for my problem. Though I think i have fixed it. For some reason there was a shortcut to "my sites on msn" in my computer. I had not seen it previously because of window size, and it being below the "devices with removable storage" partition. I deleted it and instantly cpu usage dropped to normal. Navigating around it seems to be fine now.
Looking on google it looks like its something to do with windows live.

706826 2008-09-22 04:27:00 browseui.dll is a component that contains functions and resources for IE browser UI management. This is a Microsoft program.

I've taken it out with HJT and had no issues with IE at all.
