explorer.exe is rising...rising...rising
Thursday, October 2, 2003 by Zodiaq~ | Discussion: Stardock Software
Over the last week I have noticed that the explorer process has steadily been climbing...I mean as high as 222,000K... 
What could be going on?
If I restart, it is about 25,000...then it starts to slowly ascend...after about 3-4 days it reaches 150,000-200,000K.
btw...No viruses, spyware or anything like that.

hey, have you run a registry cleaner?
System Mechanic, RegMedic and a few others do a pretty good job.
System Mechanic is the one I use and prefer enough that it is part of the utilities we suggest to customers. It will clean up your registry of all invalid entries and also compact it afterwards. I did notice a huge difference in speed of the system over all and also Explorer was not bloating on me afterwards. Now I run it once a week depending on what I've done with the system as far as trying to recreate issues in an attempt to revolve them.
...
side note: Jafo, that guy has been sent a registered letter and so have the owners of two businesses he had sent a CC attachment to with all those regkeys and serial#s to. SHould get intertesting here soon....

Well...That was short lived >
Just checked and explorer.exe is back up to 186,000K...This is ridiculous. I haven't formatted for a year...maybe it's time

Look in Task Manager/Performance and see what your CPU usage is.........
If it's 5,6 percent that's fine. Unload SDC and WC (if you have it) trays and see if that does anything to bring the process down.

As for the Object Dock issues,I have just discovered by telling the Dock not to magnify solved many of my problems with it.
The Exploder.exe is strange though,,It happened right after all the updates last week that required re-boots after install.I think there were 4 of them in row.Soon after,I noticed Exploder.exe doin'itz thang.I caught my Exploder at 43k,decided to re-boot and re-booted into 38k.I have no idea.I am glad to see someone else has noticed,,
