You have a point. What makes the high CPU usage a "bad
thing" is that it sets off the system fan. And that fan
turns the ThinkPad from whisperquiet into rather noisy.
That .mny files cause high CPU usage may actually be
normal. If you use MS Money, could you run the task
manager, check what the CPU usage is and post it here?
