Default TWO copies of explorer

As Frank mentioned the differences, you can check them he
http://castlecops.com/StartupList.html

Type the .exe's name in the search text input box and click search, start
with iexplore. The query will pull everything with that name if it is in
their database along with the description. Might as well check those .exe
files seen in Norton CG.

put finger to keyboard and composed:

When I press ctl+alt+del, the task manager shows TWO copies of
'explorer'

in
the list.

Many times when I (finally) succeed in closing the extra copy, it
comes
right back (list shows two copies 'running'/)

What causes this and how do I permanently cure this?


go to Start - Run
type msinfo32.exe - OK
select Software Environment - Running Tasks

What do you see?


***
There is no 'running tasks' choice shown.

When I ctl+alt+del I see 32 'things' running (in Norton Crashguard) - do
not
recognize most of the names as there is nothing in the name to indicate
(to
me) which program it refers to.

(None of the names look like explorer (iexplore shows when I open
windows -
sometimes.))

Note that some malware can cleverly disguise the name, eg the "ell"
could be replaced by a "one".
