100% cpu usage in XP for explorer.exe

Expand Post »
I am running windows xp on my laptop and all of a sudden it is hanging. i noticed that my cpu usage is at 100% and 99% or so of this is from explorer.exe...has anyone else experienced this problem? any help on how i can get my laptop running again would be greatly appreciated...also, i cannot even get any windows to open to get to any of my data files.

thanks.
