It appears that the method Mozilla is using worked fine in XP, but does not work for Windows 7.
#Bugzilla exe download#
I know I'm a few years late on this reply, but the issue you described can be caused by Mozilla Firefox when using the "Open Containing Folder" selection in the context menu of the Download Bar, or any other application that launches an explorer window.ĭepends on the method they are using to spawn that window. TIA for any information or suggestions on where to go from here. I can't see any point in trying Safe Mode because half the programs won't run.
#Bugzilla exe software#
I don't see any point in setting my machine to a clean boot - I'm not wiping out months of software and config just to save M$ the bother of tracking down this bug. Each process is typically using 20-30MB of memory. UnlikeĪdnan_EliXR I'm not content to have to go killing off half a dozen processes every day or two. Can anyone offer some more concrete information or troubleshooting?. I have looked in process explorer and can't find any relationship between my actions on the machine and these instances of explorer. The only other processes that are constantly running are Alps Pointing Device and ATI Catalyst Control Centre, neither of which seems a likely culprit. I useįirefox 3.6.3 at the moment, but had this problem with previous releases. The only other background processes are NIS 2010, Diskeeper 2010 and Acronis True Image Home 2010. It is not related to uTorrent, as it is happening on the machine without uT installled. Surely M$ are investigating this bug by now. I have of course checked the registry key mentioned above and it is set to 0. After running either machine for more than a day, there are always at least three or four explorer processes running, and if I forgot to check for a few days there can be up to 16 or so.īy taking some small action in the actual shell I can identify the shell copy of Explorer.exe, and can end all the other processes with no apparent consequences. I have two machines, one of which has uTorrent. I posted a query about this several months ago: - I did not receive any useful information. It will go into sleep mode sometimes and restoring/recovering from this is not always what I expect. I usually keep my computer running without re-booting for several weeks at a time. However, over time, multiple instances will appear. If I end each 'explorer.exe' process with task manager, then I simply can run 'explorer.exe' to get it back to a single instance. Is this the first time anyone has mentioned this on Technet forums? I am the only person that has a login to this system.īTW, after searching the internet for "multiple instances of explorer.exe" it seems this is not an unusual problem. Multiple users are not logged into the system. This came in long after noticing this problem with multimple explorer.exe. A few days ago AVG did report a trojan horse (avg.exe was found in my 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files' folder). I've scanned for malware, and have AVG Anti-Virus running at all times and haven't run into anything peculiar. Searched my Win7 system, tried Help, but couldn't find anything.
