Yes, yes, yes. You're brilliant. I have a temperature monitor program, which updates its tray icon per second. I turned it off, and CPU usage dropped to alomost 0%. Not sure if we can call it a bug, but explorer.exe won't do the same thing. Maybe you could "cache" the bitmap, don't repaint it every time.
