    Uh....that requires memory to do that....Anyways your RAM usage is perfectly fine. between 30% and 50% is pretty normal. So yeah no problem to fix.

    Maybe using a 3rd party program to view your images, will lighten up the load on explorer.exe..

    I see nothing abnormal. What do you want to do with your 4GBs of RAM. Once you stop the explore.exe, it will stick around in cache, but that is "available" RAM. If any program needs this RAM, it will be thrown out. Have a look into your Resource Monitor > memory tab. The colored picture will show you how your RAM is being used. Anything in blue (dark and light) is available RAM. If you hover over the little color boxes, it will tell you what is what.
