There are several instances of explorer.exe running in Task Manager (currently 7), each help between 10 and 40 MB of memory.

Explorer.exe processes use resources cpu at different times.  I remember reading at the time that this could be a sign of a virus, but I did a full scan with NIS 2010 and nothing showed.  Can someone give me pointers where to begin to investigate?

I did a clean install of Windows 7 Friday last-formatted disk HARD and everything, so he didn't have much time for something bad to happen!

I discovered what is causing the explorer.exe hang... If you give ALL the arguments for explorer.exe in your shortcut/properties, to try to change the default of libraries directory, it crashes.  For example, simply using "explorer.exe C:\. "will cause a task explore hang whent you close it... to crash, I mean the window closes, but the process remains in memory.  I had 15 tonight explorer.exe...  There is advice on the net on how to get the default Explorer for workstation (which I have been using this trick - I HATE default libraries which I NEVER use)... so change your shortcut and remove all the arguments for explorer.exe.  See if it suits it!

As expected, the support has no knowledge on what I see.

PS - I just understand how default Explorer for workstation... Its strange, but it works...  Click right drag the icon from your desktop on the desktop on an empty space.  Create shortcut...  Now detach any Windows Explorer, you have in your taskbar... Now left click, drag your shortcut from the desktop to the taskbar.    Now, if you simply click on it, you go into libraries... BUT - if instead you right click, you will see the shortcut from the desktop and select this option, it goes into my computer... and there's never hang out of any EXTRA explorer.exe!

    A version bought the current version (Acrobat DC Pro) can be exchanged, so you should be able to run on Windows or Mac. But never both. You can then run it on two machines for your own personal use (do not share).

  • On the task bar of Windows Explorer post work without creating multiple instances of explorer.exe.

    Hi, I tried the workaround solution where you enter "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe: {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" in the target.  However, this doesn't seem to be a full working solution because it creates an instance of "explorer.exe" whenever you access.  I want a solution that allows me to open the 'Workstation' of the taskbar that creates instances fallacious "explorer.exe" (it should stay onlya singleinstance of explorer.exe).

    BTW, no, I don't want to pin 'my computer' icon so I have to hover over windows Explorer and then proceed to my computer.  I want the default location in Windows Explorer my computer and no libraries (which had the idea to do this? this person is a fool, because the majority of people never use libraries)

    -Dan

    Another alternative - using a VBScript script to launch my folder on the computer.

    Copy these lines into Notepad and save the file as "MyComputer.vbs".

    Set objShell = CreateObject
    objShell.ShellExecute "shell: MyComputerFolder ', ' ', ' ', 'open', 1

    Create a shortcut to the script including the full path, as below:

    C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe "D:\MyScripts\MyComp.vbs."

    Change the shortcut icon, and then PIN to the taskbar.

    How is it a better alternative?

    The script takes 3K of memory (max) and duly ends after launching the folder desktop. It's better than the original situation where each instance explorer.exe taking 20 + K of memory and not end automatically.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the sample data.

    It is unclear what dates you want to include in the output.  The following query shows how you can generate every Monday in a given range.  If you only want to include the dates that are actually present in tabl1 and/or tab4, you can simplify this a bit.

    WITH date_range AS

    (

    SELECT TRUNC (TO_DATE (' 3 June 2013', 'DD-Mon-YYYY'))

    , 'IW '.

    ) AS first_monday

    , TRUNC (TO_DATE (24 June 2013 ', 'DD-Mon-YYYY') + 6)

    , 'IW '.

    ) AS last_monday

    OF the double

    )

    all_mondays AS

    (

    First_monday SELECT + (7 * (LEVEL - 1)) AS sell_date

    OF date_range

    CONNECT BY LEVEL<= 1="" +="" (="" (last_monday="" -="">

    / 7

    )

    )

    SELECT mi.model_id

    mi.retailer_id

    am.sell_date

    , Cost of NVL (t1.cost, 0) AS

    , NVL (t1.rebat, 0) IN the refund

    , NVL (t1.cost, 0)

    -(NVL (t1.rebat, 0))

    + NVL (t4.discount, 0)

    ) AS final

    E master_info

    CROSS JOIN all_mondays am

    LEFT OUTER JOIN tab1 t1 ON t1.model_id = mi.model_id

    AND t1.retailer_id = mi.retailer_id

    AND t1.sell_date = am.sell_date

    LEFT OUTER JOIN tab 3 t3 ON t3.dealer_id = t2.dealer_id

    LEFT OUTER JOIN tab4 t4 ON t4.model_id = t1.model_id

    AND t4.dealer_group = t3.dealer_group

    AND t4.discount_date = t1.sell_date

    ORDER BY mi.retailer_id

    mi.model_id

    am.sell_date

    ;

    The results are not exactly what said you you wanted.  I suspect it's because of typos in that you posted.
