| Windows 7 2 posts | Multiple explorer.exe listed in task manager Looked in the task manager today and noticed 4 separate entries for explorer.exe / windows explorer. Is this normal? Or does it indicate a problem? Windows 7 32 bit system. Thank you for your time, Steve |

| 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 & Windows 8 Enterprise 47,735 posts Texas | Hello SRB, and welcome to Seven Forums. This is normal when new explorer windows open as a separate process. When they are closed, the extra explorer.exe process should end as well in Task Manager a few moments later. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Windows 7 2 posts | Brink - Thanks. I popped open 4-5 Windows Explorers and noticed that the multiple entries were back. And as you say, once I closed them the extra processes went away. Now only 2 remain. Thanks again, Steve. |

| 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 & Windows 8 Enterprise 47,735 posts Texas | You're welcome Steve. It's Windows 7 way of helping to make sure that if one of those explorer window crashes for whatever reason, the other ones will still be working. |
