The Function of Explorer.exe Program in the System
Every Windows operating system will start a process called Explorer.exe at runtime. This process is mainly responsible for displaying icons and taskbar on the system desktop, which has different magical functions in different systems.
Applications in Windows 9x
In Windows 9x, this process is necessary to run the system. If you end the Explorer.exe process by "End Task", the system will refresh the desktop and update the registry. Therefore, we can also use this method to update the registry quickly. The method is as follows:
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to display the End Task dialog box. Select the Explorer option in this dialog box, and then click the End Task button to open the Close Window dialog box. Click the "No" button, and another dialog box will appear later, telling you that the program has not responded and asking whether to end the task. Click the "End Task" button to update the registry and return to the Windows 9x system environment. This is much more convenient than the tedious restart process?
Applications in Windows 2000/XP
In Windows NT kernel system, such as Windows 2000/XP, the Explorer.exe process is not needed when the system runs, and it can be finished through the task manager without affecting the normal work of the system. Open the program you need to run, such as Notepad. Then right-click the taskbar, select Task Manager, select the Processes tab, select Explorer.exe Process in the window, and then click the End Process button. Next, except the wallpaper (except the wallpaper of the active desktop), all the icons and taskbar on the desktop disappeared. At this time, you can still operate all the software as usual.
I want to run other software, but there is nothing on the desktop at this time. Don't worry, there are two ways to skillfully open other software:
The first method: press Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the Windows security dialog box, click the Task Manager button (or press Ctrl+Shift+Esc directly), select the application tab in the Task Manager window, click New Task, and enter the path of the software to be opened in the pop-up New Task dialog box.
You can also select "File → Open" on the running software. In the open dialog box, click the "file type" drop-down list, select "All files", then browse to the software you want to open, right-click and select the "Open" command in the shortcut menu to start the required software. Note that you cannot open the software by clicking the "Open" button at this time. This method is suitable for most software except Office series.
By ending the Explorer.exe process, the memory used by the system can be reduced by about 4520KB, which will undoubtedly speed up the operation of the system and free up valuable space for users with tight resources.
Tip: After restarting the Explorer.exe process, some software will send a message on the small icon in the system tray of the taskbar, but the software will still run normally. If you feel a little inconvenient, you can open the software again to display small icons.
Several possible reasons for explorer.exe's mistakes:
1. System resources are insufficient. It is recommended not to open too many applications at the same time if the machine configuration is low. In addition, virtual memory can be appropriately increased, especially when large-scale games are often played. In this case, upgrading the machine is the most fundamental solution.
2. The system file is corrupted. Check the file size of explorer.exe. Normally it should be displayed as 237k or 238k. If the sizes are inconsistent, you can run sfc/scannow to scan the system files. If the explorer.exe program itself is destroyed, you can copy a explorer.exe file from another machine to this machine, call the task manager, access the explorer.exe process, and then create a new task to copy the new file to the system disk \WINNT(2000) or \WINDOWS(XP) directory.
3. Software conflict (especially right-clicking a third-party add-in). For example, the input method, version 3.0 of Ziguang's input method sometimes has explorer.exe errors, so cancel Ziguang's input method and use other input methods. No similar problems were found in version 4.0 of Ziguang input method. Apple's beautified version of rar is in trouble. If you uninstall, this error will not appear for the time being. You can also see if you have installed Apple's beautified version of rar, and if you have, you can uninstall it.
Virtual cd containing 120% alcohol or 52% alcohol is prone to explorer.exe error in tomato system. Uninstalling can sometimes solve the problem.
4. virus. ( wc98pp.dll )
Network protocol processor-e-book compiler related to network compiler.
Wc98pp.dll's document itself has no influence. Many computers have this file, but when explorer.exe makes a mistake, deleting this file can solve the problem, and then search the relevant key values in the registry to delete it.
Usign.dll, someone mentioned that this file is similar to two files in wc98pp.dll. Deleting these two files can eliminate the small advertisements that keep popping up in IE. This file was not found in the company computer.
5. Reasons for 5.windows upgrade
Everyone knows that we use pirated xp. Since it is piracy, there will be all kinds of mistakes. Microsoft is not an sb, and something will definitely go wrong to punish us. So we suggest that you don't update automatically online, and turn off the automatic update (in fact, this update is useless).
6. System kernel error. This situation can't be solved for the time being, so reinstall the system.
7. Memory problems. Someone solved this problem by replacing the memory, so this should be one reason, but if something goes wrong, it will be more troublesome, so consider the previous reasons first.
8. Other reasons. When the computer waits for a long time for the program to run, for example, when reading data, especially when reading data from optical disks or external devices, explorer.exe errors will also occur.
Exeplorer.exe is the shell of this system. This file was loaded in inches because it was open. So this file is usually not damaged. An error occurred because an exception occurred in the key associated with exeplorer in the registry. There are many reasons, which are hard to find. So generally only reinstall the system. If it is too much trouble, start the system with the startup disk and repair it at the recovery console.
