Isn't that what the"Start folder windows in a separate process" setting is for? More stability at the expense of more memory and less responsiveness. In the days of Windows 95 it was actually beneficial to not do that. Nowadays, not so much, I guess. Although it's been ages that Explorer crashed on me. Not having too many shell extensions probably helps here.
- mkl 8y agoI think that "new process" menu option is a bit of a lie. I use it every time, but I've had supposedly separate Explorer windows (including the task bar) crash simultaneously.
- dfox 8y agoDue to how the whole Windows Shell mechanism works (COM all the way down) there will still be lot of shared state between the supposedly separate processes.
