Help, multiple explorer.exe's staying open.
Hello all
First, running Win7 64bit on full & clean install to a new HD.
Recently I have been noticing on a few trips to task manager that some times I will have a whole bunch of explorer.exe's running even if I have nothing but my desktop.
In doing some checking I found that this is happening from each time I open a new explorer window but the issue is, when I close the window, the process still is running.
It even happens if say from my desktop, I open only one explorer window and close that one and then at open another single one and close it and on an on like this.
Simple put it seems like for any condition I open an explorer window, despite the fact that I have closed it, it doesn't really seem to close.
Note, in doing some Googling I have found that I am not alone with this an some have recommend to uncheck, "Launch folder in separate process" in folder options and I have tried this but it doesn't work.
So how do I get Windows 7 to stop running a process of explorer.exe once I have closed it as sometimes I have even seen up to 10 of these running and its really eating up my memory.
Thanks
