Brian-
That was a great idea. Glad I thought of it. Heheheh. It didn't turn up
anything. All it shows is the systems variables you'd expect to be varying,
varying. This is really freaking me out. I'm beginning to think I've picked up
a bug or something that the security outfits aren't aware of yet. I don't know
what to do as I can't even identify what it is that's exercising my hard drive
and what it's doing. Thanks for your help. Any more ideas would be graciously
appreciated.

I would recommend creating a before and after counter log using the
Performance snap-in of Admin tools. Create a Process log using "Creating
Process ID" for "All instances". Set it up on 3 sec intervals. Save as a
text file and you can view the log file with any spreadsheet program. Run
the first log with the screensaver disabled to get a baseline. Then start a
second log session with the screensaver enabled. Compare the two log files
when done. If its a process thats being triggered by the screensaver, it
should be listed in the second log. However, if its putting an already
active process into overdrive, you wont be able to tell.
