Explorer sucking up CPU

from Stardock Forums
When I startup my computer the explorer proccess is sucking up as much of the CPU as it can get. Also, the taskbar flickers white around the date/time/icon tray end. Also, if I click start it pops up and close almost immediately. This tells me it keeps refreshing. Now when I killed window blinds it stopped, but started again once I reapplied my skin. Now it stopped after I killed explorer then relaunched the proccess. Now what the heck is going on?! Im using window blinds 5 trial and have media center 2005(MS windows). If it even matters, I have a 1.1MHz CPU(AMD), 640RAM, and a Nvidia GeForce2 MX 100/200 graphics card.

Are you using anything which adds a toolbar to the taskbar?

No, the blinds 5 trial is the only modification software running. However, in the background I have AVG, Yahoo messenger and common(ybrwicon.exe), and some other little things like my externall MobilePre sound driver. This question may no long need an answer because I just started up my computer and it didnt do it. It started up like normal. If it does it again, I'll post back. Thanks for the help.
