breakfastclub Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hi Guys ! We find out that "Explorer.exe" is very big when it loads in memory, my taskmanager say "76.363 K" - 76 MB ?!

none_needed Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) i believe the more software/program u have running on ur pc such as antivirus/onecare/etc that interacts with explorer.exe, it will eat up more memory coz its like the windows shell hub for everything to work. kill explorer.exe and everything's gone. just my two cent.
