I prefer Process Explorer, available from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx or
www.sysinternals.com. Its a more advanced version of the built-in one.
Perhaps more palatable for sub-planet-sized brains ;o) It usually
does the job for me

Check out ProcMon, it will perhaps tell you what caused the activity:

Wow, creates a HUGE amount of data, most of it meaningless to me.
The FileOpen etc activity seems to be caused by a 'softmodem' and the
wireless RaLink card. Even when turned off and not connected to the router.
Regular QueryOpen, CreateFile, QueryNetworkOpenInformationFile,
QueryStandardInformationFile, CloseFile
Masses of RegOpenKey, RegCloseKey etc. (don't know what they all mean).
Nothing that really ties in as far as I can tell.
No toolbars or anything new installed in the last couple of days.
Even sound gets affected, a simple system Ping sound gets broken up into
P-i-n-g sounding like an underwater bubbling sci-fi sound!
