    Explorer.exe using 100%


    Hi to all
    I had to say that when I start my pc up it starts normally and it logged in normaly
    But when i open My Computer my explorer uses 50% of cpu
    But then when i open any drive it uses 98-100% of cpu
    I have installed windows 7 32 bit many times
    but the problems repeats every time
    i have also ran antivirus software, defragmentation and chkdsk but it did`nt show any error or virus in the drives
    this happens only when i open my 2nd drives folders
    but the games or the applications in that drives partition works properly only cpu uses 100 while exploiring or copying any files or folders from 2nd drive
    plz help me in this problem
    Regards to all
