    Open any Explorer window, on the menu bar** click Tools > Folder Options... > View, check to see if you have "Launch folder windows in a separate process" activated.

    **If you can't see the menu bar, click Organize > Layout and check (tick) the menu bar option first.

    B.T.W, with Nod32 AV and Mbam installed you'll have one of the cleanest (safest) machines about!! I would just add WinPatrol to that, Scotty does what he says he will, a good little guard dog.

    There is nothing wrong. Look at what fimble posted. Some programs may spawn another process of explorer.exe. Just check its running from C:\Windows.
