Meir I can't get your original posts, probably a blocked bad IP range. I'm not talking about IE which is Iexplore.exe, but Explorer.exe. What you describe is normal behavior.
Yes Peter, I'm hoping I can get a few on SP2 to at least reply as to how many explorer.exe's they have running, opening and closing folders. I only got one reply so far (thanks again Mike) and he didn't have the issue. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" Meir, do you get an "explorer.exe" or "IEXPLORE.EXE"? I get multiples of the latter not the former. Remember that "explorer.exe" is the shell that we all interface with while "IEXPLORE.EXE" is Internet Explorer. Why Clint has 2 instances of explorer.exe running is interesting though.
