[question] Why Does Explorer Take Up So Much Mem?

I was just wondering why exactly explorer.exe takes up so much memory about 53 megs last time I checked

Is there anyway to get it to take up less, I have disabled so Many Services, tweaked the registry etc to make Windows XP take up less memory and system resources but Explorer.exe still bugs me.

Thank you very much for any help that you can provide me with.

Have you tried setting Explorer to always unload .dlls?

Alternatively, try using ThePowderRanger's PowderCleaner...

Thank you very much for that Stevie, hopefully this should fix my problems.

As for Powder's Memory Cleaner, its Ironic, because it cleans my memory but also makes the Processor take up 100% lol

That looks like a hell of a tweak, thanks.

Because Explorer is from Microsoft.
