what is winlogin doing?

[Lee]

i am running windows XP for Tablet PC. I am running several apps with no
problem when suddenly I notice CPU usage jumps to near 100% and stays there
for 20 or 30 minutes. the application taking all the CPU cycles is
'winlogin'. what is that? at the time i had 12 journal notes open and was
using about 310meg of memory out of 512meg. what is winlogin doing -
besides causing lots of disk thrashing? i wasn't trying to log in to
anything. eventually it stopped hogging cpu cycles and went back to 0-10%
range.

apologies if I am asking in the wrong section. I thought it was more a
windows xp than tablet PC question

thanks
