high explorer.exe memory usage

whats up wilders, my 64 bit vista gaming pc is clean of malware, but i noticed in task manager that explorer.exe is using aroun 100mb of ram. is this normal?

 

To configure your Windows to start in a clean boot state (Method 2) could help to figure out the annoyance. See here also.

 

Attached is a snapshot pic of explorer stats for my system when no explorer windows are open (WinXP/SP3 - see sig for details).

 

Indexing (among other things) enabled - http://forums.cnet.com/5208-12546_102-0.html?messageID=3151236#3151236?

 

also updating while it lasts (WU) can cause an increase. Use Sysinternals Process Explorer to better see what is running

 

PE - goes without saying ....

 

i rebooted and its back to normal usage lol

 

Rather generic - "normal" suggesting what? Pray tell - whaddaya got for the boys'an girls @ home?

 

lol because i dont reallly know why the mem usage was so high. maybe it was because i was gaming all day.

but why did you say "whaddaya got for the boys'an girls @ home?" not sure what that means lol

 

Well, I'm suggesting you PE HAMMER explorer the next time things don't seem right - got me lol?

 

wth is PE hammer?

 

Please guys:

Could we please try to avoid too much "American slang"?

There are other native speakers around here

 

Well then (gag) - by all means I better let "them" address the OP ...

 

i just want to know what PE hammer is? is it difficult to tell me what it is?

 

Not @ all. Means .... tap Process Explorer to uncover where your cycles are being consumed.
