Guest Mangix Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 explorer.exe is the program made by microsoft that lets you browse folders, click on icons, and basically everything. it should NEVER EVER be terminated. as for tray notifications cache, that just clears the cache of tray notofications. meaning that it clears every record of tray notifications or something like that.

Moderators rridgely Posted August 23, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2005 explorer.exe is the Windows Program Manager or Windows Explorer. It manages the Windows Graphical Shell including the Start menu, taskbar, desktop, and File Manager. By removing this process the graphical interface for Windows will disappear.

It manages the Windows Graphical Shell including the Start menu, taskbar, desktop, and File Manager. By removing this process the graphical interface for Windows will disappear. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anyone actually tried killing it? It freezes just like any other application. It has to killed off. Often it will come back automatically, or you can restart it via Task Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
