Ok, since there seems to be an unusull amount of tech savvy people here, I'm hoping one of you know the answer to this.

I run Windows 2000 Pro and lately my computer has been slow. So I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and brought up the Windows Task Manager. In "Performance" my CPU Usage is peaked at 100% (only one IE Browser window open).

In "Process", "mshta.exe" is using 99% of my CPU.

In "Applications" the only task is GFY.
Why all of a sudden is the mshta.exe using 99% of my resources, and how do I solve it?

It even uses it when I close everything. It's constantly using 99%.

Is it an important exe file? Can I just dump it?

I would go to the tech section of Microsoft, but that site just confuses me even more. I figure here I would probably get a faster more reliable answer.

Thanks.
