Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
OK, let me see if I can explain this so you will understand lol
If I make a new file/folder on the desktop [or use an existing one] and right-click rename, the first time explorer.exe is only using around 20-30 megs of memory and CPU usage is normal, but if I right-click on the file/folder a second time and attempt to rename it explorer.exe imedeatly jumps to 50% CPU usage [dual core] and the memory jumps to over 1 gig, which makes the computer lag terribly. The only way I can rectify the problem is to log off/log on or end the explorer.exe process and restart it.
This happends with all skins except Windows Classic, Aero and Stardock Design's Aero Colours
I can replicate this bug any time I want using the method above so I know for a fact that it's a Window Blinds bug.
Now here's the wierd part:If I put the file/folder into another folder on the desktop the problem does not happen, and does not happen when renaming file/folder within any other folder on the computer, this only happends on the desktop.
Any ideas how to fix the problem ?
Thanks JG49

Do you have Fences or Deskscapes installed?
I have tried to reproduce this but cannot. The cpu and memory remain at normal levels.
Thanks for the reply Neil,
Never had Fences installed, I had Deskscapes installed about a month ago for a couple of weeks but removed it because I was having problems with it.
The Stardock apps I have installed currently are:
ImpulseIcon PackagerIcon DeveloperIcon ExplorerCursor EffectsLogo On Studio VistaSkinStudio 7Tweak 7WindowBlinds (BETA2)WindowBlindsObjectDock Plus (runnig 3 docks)
All of the above are updated to their most recent builds
Is it possible the uninstall of Deskscapes left reg entries behind that could be mucking things up ?
Thanks
Sounds like you have something running in the background. How about your security, anti-virsus or anit-malware software?
The only security software I use is ESET Smart Security Version 4.0.314.0, (purchased in March) all modules are current.
I have to agree that some background process that affects the desktop itself must be incompatible with WB 7 or the other way around.
I've downloaded Sysinternal's Process Explorer from MS, mabey it will shed some light on what's happening when the bug occurs.
I'll be back
In advanced settings (UIS2/1 only) I unchecked"I want skins to be able to apply textures to the back of explorer windows"and the problem went away.
I have know idea why that setting should have anything to do with rightclick renaming files/folders on the desktop but in my case it does.
So now, unfortunatly, I don't get the full functionality of Window Blinds 7 and have to look at the default crappy white Explorer backgrounds.
Hopefully this will get fixed in a future update.
I got the same proplem , with 50% CPU usage .
So thank you JG49 for the tip ... it works.
I have the same issue. Quadcore Phenom II, 8 Gb Mem and gtx 260 216 core. I only run desktop fences and window blinds.
It only pegs 25% cpu for me but jumps to over a gb of usage and lags like hell.

on a side note, disabling the textures does not fix the issue for me. For now I guess I'll refrain from renaming stuff on my desktop, lol.
