OK. Forgive me if there is a simple answer to this, but if the desk is clear why is so much energy being spent watching it, ie all the memory it's using.When you think of the metaphor that MS uses to describe Windows -- Most of your commonly used programs are linked on the Desktop and programs that you open will open on the Desktop -- Explorer is the Desk... It is the foundation of Windows... If you shut it down, like some programs will do to kill malware, you will need to reboot or restart it to use most functions in Windows... Internet Explorer is also integrated into the operating system, but not as much as Explorer...

If you look at the first post, you will see that it is correctly spelled, so it is a likely typo... Also, I suspect this issue is long resolved since the last post was almost a year ago...notice in the topic its "iexporer.exe" do you see an L in there? Ehh something tells me that it was a typo or something is fishy
