Explorer.exe
Explorer.exe was always in my System Configuration Utility Startup, along
with a few others: SystemTray, StateMgr, ScanRegistry, my Firewall and AV. All others were not ticked,. Note that I can open Explorer and ts working ok. Its also present in the Close Program window with: Alt+Ctrl. Is this absence of Explorer normal (been there for 9 years....}???? -- cogito ergo sum |

Explorer.exe
I've never known Explorer to be in MSConfig | Startup unless manually
placed there by a user to open a specific folder each time they boot their system. It isn't present in a clean new install made using Microsoft retail media. The default entries being: ScanRegistry TaskMonitor PCHealth SystemTray LoadPowerProfile x2 (do not remove either) Scheduling Agent StateMgr A fully updated system would have had KB891711 and KB918547 added as a result of installing the hotfixes of the same number. SSDPPSRV would also be present if the user had chosen to enable Universal PnP in Windows Setup | Communications. -- Mike Maltby PAT (Paul) wrote: Explorer.exe was always in my System Configuration Utility Startup, along with a few others: SystemTray, StateMgr, ScanRegistry, my Firewall and AV.

Explorer.exe
There I was about to ask if anyone knew semaphore, as my cat seems to be
telling me "ears", or possibly more specifically "2 ears", but for all I know it might be like a signal beamed into outer space in the hope of finding alien life and she's actually saying "1 + 1 = 2"! But I think Pat (Paul) has beaten me to it. Shane "Mike M" wrote in message ...

Explorer.exe
Mike, tks for reply and to Shane for his sense of humor, I think thats what it was... Welll I lived nine years with Explorer.exe in my MSConfig, and last week it disappeared. Yes I have or had: PCHealth (got rid of it some times ago), LoadPowerProfile x2 and Scheduling Agent were also removed. As for the two KB, they are there. The SSDPSRV removed long time ago, and the very few games I use self start ok. My last question was a "silly" one and I knew there was another in mind, well thats it. Tks guys. -- cogito ergo sum "Shane" wrote: There I was about to ask if anyone knew semaphore, as my cat seems to be telling me "ears", or possibly more specifically "2 ears", but for all I know it might be like a signal beamed into outer space in the hope of finding alien life and she's actually saying "1 + 1 = 2"!

Explorer.exe
You will always see explorer.exe running when you Ctrl-Alt as it is the
"shell", that is the layer between you and the operating system, that is unless you are running an alternative shell. It is however most unusual to see explorer.exe in the start-up list in the way you mention although I should have perhaps mentioned earlier that in the past more than one nasty or virus has masqueraded as explorer.exe although in that case the version being launched was not the customary Microsoft file that lives in the windows folder but another that the virus had placed elsewhere such as in windows\system or windows\system32. -- Mike Maltby PAT (Paul) wrote: Mike, tks for reply and to Shane for his sense of humor, I think thats what it was...

Explorer.exe
Well, you're welcome. And I think that's what it was, though I actually was
about to ask that, but you kind of took the sale out of my wind. However, it seems to me that in msconfig - if that's what you mean, as opposed to some other utility such as Startup Control panel - what you'd see Explorer.exe in is System.ini (as indeed you would see it *in* System.ini - as in the line shell=explorer.exe). Perhaps that's the one you're thinking of? And perhaps she's being more cryptic and it's about triangles. Possibly - since they stick up - a reference to pyramids?

Tanks for clearing this out. As for your cat, maybe she's in a state of mutation and growing wings to go back to the pyramids, where she will be revered and adored. Are you treating her according to her status?? Bye and have a Merry Holidays. -- cogito ergo sum "Shane" wrote: Well, you're welcome.

You may have something there, and I probably am! If her status warrants a doorman I certainly fill that role! Best of the season to you, too.
