XP Pro windows explorer compute bound

I often discover that the Explorer process suddenly takes up 100% of the CPU
resources. Sometimes I can kill it in the Task Manager, but then I have to
reboot, because the desktop empties out. Other times, I just have to press
reset. Pretty screwed up.

Any idea what kinds of things might be causing this?
