Why does Windows Explorer (not IE!) read and write to disk and use CPU when
it is closed?? I see this from my process explorer AnVir Task Manager.

well.
The shell app is determined in the registry, by the "shell" string value
in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
I don't think the explorer shell places much load on the system anyway.
Here
it's using about 3M of RAM and no measurable processor time.

*** Mine's 14MB and 0 CPU with nothing but OE open. Hmmm.

I usually see 20 - 35 meg on workstations with an average of 5 apps
running. This workstation is currently using 22 meg.

I still only have OE open, but have opened and closed 3 or 4 apps. Now it's
up to 17 meg. You'd think once something is closed that Windows Explorer
would free up the resources. Must be why PC's get a little flaky if
hibernation is used a lot over a long time. (but wait, that's a different
thread.)
