[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1551980, member: 24160"] 1. How much stuff do you have on your desktop? Could be a faulty icon preview it's working on. 2. Have Dropbox and trying to view "All My Files" in Finder? 3. Open Finder and with your drive highlighted in the side bar - go to 'View' 'Show View Options' uncheck 'Calculate all sizes' if you have that checked. 4. Logout and login to a different user account to see if it has the same thing happening. 5. mdworker would be the process related to Spotlight not Finder - so it's something else. 6. Do you have some automatic off-site backup running? This could definitely take days and would/can cause a big spike in Finder until it completes. [/QUOTE]
