Well before this happened I accidently right clicked properties for program files. It looked like it was going to take a long time so I stopped it. I move on and switched a folder from photo album to documents like I intented to do. While I was doing this explorer must have been running but I didn't notice. I then started up IE.exe and then things started to slow down with explorer hogging all cpu time.
Eventually everything hard locked for a couple minutes and I had to restart. Well now when I restart I get to desktop and exploerer is hogging 100%. I can click my computer and get the hour glass like my hard driver is being accessed or it can't get enough cpu time to access it. Since I don't hear my hard drive I think it is the latter.
I really think it was explorer archiving program files to give me the info. Like how many folders total size and such. I am wondering if there is a halt command or something to tell explorer.exe to stop what it is doing. Right now I can't do anything with my computer since it boots at 100% and won't do anything else. I can ctrl alt del to get task manager but thats it. No unessecary processes are going just the bare minimum usual stuff.
I've looked around and found forum posts with similar or exactly the same problems, but people just post check msconfig or run spybot and stuff that has nothing to do with it, or a ms issue about battery life.
