Desktop Search -> 100% CPU for explorer.exe JeffR 01-13-2006

Since installing Microsoft Desktop Search (currently on 02.06.0000.2083, but
also saw with previous versions), every time I reboot my machine (Winodws XP
sp2), upon logging in, the desktop hangs for 5-10 minutes with explorer.exe
using up 100% of cpu time. Uninstalling Desktop Search, or not having
desktop search start automatically at reboot seems to fix the problem.

How can i preven this?

This is not a widespread problem but I have seen this with some users.
I'm looking into it and will report back here if i find any solutions.

Great, I'll be interested to hear what you find out. I'm wondering if it's
some sort of deadlock between desktop search and explorer, since launching it
manually after explorer starts always fixes the problem. Also, killing
explorer.exe and then relaunching both explorer.exe and desktop search fixes
the problem.

There used to be a registry key in MSN search to delay the startup, but I
can't seem to find the matching key for the enterprise edition.
