After copying/cutting and pasting large files, my task manager shows 100% cpu usage. I notice that explorer uses 99% of it and will not go back down afterwards. The rest of the machine runs real slow, and i can do very little. To resolve this, i end the task (being explorer) and go to run and re-execute it. this is my only fix. anybody know why explorer does this? any better way to fix it?
