Hello Experts, I run some CPU intensive processes (video encoding using X264) in a command shell. Since I don't want it to affect my normal foreground applications, I set it to IDLE/BELOW_NORMAL priority using Process Explorer. However, when I lock my screen (manually or automatically after some idle time), the encoding virtually stops. When I unlock my screen, I can see from recent history that...

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...
