[Stuart McLachlan]

Does it also happen if you use Irfanview instead of MS Photo?

<quote>One of the major causes of the Shell Infrastructure Host high CPU problem 
is the memory leak issue with the default photo viewer app in Windows. This bug 
makes sihost.exe query the registry all the time, which leads to the high CPU 
usage.</quote>
