Nautilus keeps restarting

I can’t close Nautilus - it just keeps reopening all by it’s self.
The cursor is stuck on “busy” (in all apps) which means something’s running wild.

That’s strange. Does it launch by itself, or does this start when you open a Nautilus window? Logging off should end any running Nautilus procs. If this continues in a new session, look at the output of top. Is Nautilus using a high amount of resources? Kill the offending proc with

kill <pid>

where ‘<pid>’ is the number in the first column of top. If this doesn’t stop it force the kill with

kill -9 <pid>

If the windows stop launching, see what happens when you open a new Nautilus window. Post back here with the details.
