[help] Question about explorer...

Hey, quick question...

If I use ObjectBar, and replace my explorer with nexplorer, can I completely shut down explorer without and hinderance?

Cause man, I run nex in realtime, and explorer still takes almost 5x as much memory. It's ridiculous.

I don't think Nexplorer is a shell, Explorer is. Essentially, Nexplorer needs Explorer running to run. Nexplorer is like a monitor, not until it acts like the CPU will you be able to get rid of the other CPU (Explorer).

actually nexplorer doesnt rely on explorer....

I say just try it. You can use a shell swapper for an easier time of stopping explorer loading and setup nexplorer to load instead.

I'm using Samurize as my shell at them moment. Just a little FYI...

I just tried getting around with just nexplorer and objectbar, and wow! It freakin works. But now AveDesk shows up on top of everything. Not related to the settings though, wierd. Running Nexplorer at the highest priority and explorer not running, frees up a lot of resources.

Any names for a good shell swapper?

For an easy one with a few bells and whistles, I'd say ShellOn v2. Shmengie will agree that there was a little confusion lately when we were trying AveShell out, but I had heard a lot of good things about it long before trying it.

Shell-Shocked would be my recommendation for a good place to find more information.
