What is the magic of the Explorer.exe process?

  

Users of the Microsoft operating system will find that the startup will automatically run the Explorer.exe process, which looks familiar, but what is the role, but very few people understand, he Can it be used, can it be disabled?

In Windows 9x, this process is necessary to run the system. If you end the Explorer.exe process with “End Task", the system will refresh the desktop and update the registry. So, we can also use this method to quickly update the registry.

Here's how: Press Ctrl Alt Del, “End Task” Dialog. In the dialog box, select the “Explorer” option, then click the “End Task” button, and the "Close Windows" dialog box will appear. Click the “No” button, and another dialog box will appear in the system, telling you that the program is not responding and asking if you want 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 cumbersome restart process.

Windows 2000/XP system Windows 2000/XP and Windows NT kernel systems, the Explorer.exe process does not need to be running when the system is running, so you can Using the Task Manager to end it does not affect normal work. Open the program you need to run, such as Notepad. Then right-click on the taskbar, select “Task Manager”, select the “process” tab, select the Explorer.exe process in the window, click the “end process” button, then the desktop Wallpaper (except Active Desktop Active Desktop Wallpaper), all icons and taskbars disappeared. As always, you can still operate all your software. If you want to run other software but do things on the desktop, what to do, don't worry.

There are two ways to subtly open other software:

You can also run the software, select “file →open”,“open” dialog box, click “file type” drop-down list, select “all files”, Then browse to the software you want to open, right click on it, select the “open” command in the shortcut menu to start the software you need. Note that you can't click the "open" button to open the software. This method works for most software, except for the Office series. By ending the Explorer.exe process, you can also reduce the memory usage of the system by about 4,520 KB, which will undoubtedly speed up the system and save valuable users of space and resources. Hint: Restart the Explorer.exe process, some software in the taskbar system tray icon messages, but still running their software properly. If you find it a little inconvenient, you can open the software again to display small icons.

Although it is an inconspicuous process, it should not be ignored. Sometimes we want to save time, then you can use it to subtly open other software, but the effect is not particularly big, but the process is also a good one. Function, I hope you make good use of it.
