Is "BrowseNewProcess" a subkey or a value?

[Jane D]

I want to set "BrowseNewProcess" to "Yes".

I believe it can go into either of these two registry keys:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]

However some websites say "Browsenewprocess" is a VALUE which is
assigned to "yes".

Others say "Browsenewprocess" is a SUBKEY with a value also called
"Browsenewprocess" which is a ssigned to "yes.

Which is correct?

Both Sub-key and Value are present.

Key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BrowseNewProcess]
REG_SZ Value named "BrowseNewProcess" in the right-pane.

;; set IE to use sep process for each window
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BrowseNewProcess]
"BrowseNewProcess"="yes"

Actually, my reg ALSO has a "BrowseNewProcess" VALUE under
\currentVersion\explorer:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
"BrowseNewProcess"="yes"

I'm guessing that was a mistake made somewhere down the line tho...

I think there is a small typo above.

After the first key above I believe there should be a subkey
called \ADVANCED like this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Exp
lorer \ADVANCED]

to the best of my knowledge, the referred to values do NOT live
under the ADVANCED key.

I think I have managed to confirm that the ADVANCED subkey is
necessary.

I went to Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View and
then clicked "Launch Folder Windows In A Separate Process". When
I made a change to this setting I could see the change reflected
in the data for "SeparateProcess" in this key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explor
er \ADVANCED]

SeparateProcess was switching between binary 1 and 0.

So I guess ADVANCED is right. Now I don't know if I need to
reboot/re-login in order to make this work as I am only seeing one
Explorer entry in Task Manager
