Default SHLWAPI.dll, high CPU

I've been trying to nail down a high CPU usage problem by exploreer.exe's
SHLWAPI.dll for weeks, but haven't succeeded. Sometimes I can Suspend in
"Process Explorer," then Resume and it'll drop off; other times that doesn't
work. Sometimes a restart will solve the problem, other times it won't. I
can't see a pattern. I'm talking 35-40% CPU (Core 2 Duo 2.13GHz) usage. No
matter how long I let it live, it won't go away, so it's not connected with
PreFetch or indexing or anything else I can think of. Any ideas? Any help?
(Nothing's popped on Knowledgebase, at least on a search of 'Vista
SHLWAPI.dll cpu'; ditto on the Vista threads.) Thanks.
