re: System Idle Process taking 95% of CPU Sunday, March 21, 2004 at 7:23 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by P. Muniz (2 messages posted) Just a shot from the hip but I believe what is happening is that Windows is cataloging and or indexing the information on the hard drive. This is why it only happens once in a while. There could be other causes also. System Idle Process is displaying the % of CPU resources being used but it does not seem to display the process that is consuming the CPU resources when this happens. There are times when it will but there seems to be a hidden process that will poke it's head out from time to time and cataloging and or indexing the hard drive is what I believe is happening. I am aware that cataloging and indexing mean almost the same thing. http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum_update On Wednesday, October 2, 2002 at 6:37 am, Sabrina wrote: >Does anyone know if I can disable this or why it's taking so much of my CPU?
