Windows Explorer problem related to SP2

[MadhatterSouth]

I have had a problem with my system after installing SP2. My Windows explorer
takes forever to start. When it does it goes through a very long search. It's
definitly related to sp2 being installed because right before I installed it
is when the problem started.

This can be caused by having an older DivX codec installed. Here are
some links to help you troubleshoot SP2:

If it happened right before you installed it, then it *isn't* related to
SP2.
