yup...explorer doesn't load at all...until you tell it you want it to be a file manager...or load up IE or any other intertwined M$ app. There are replacements out there for all of them though...so start steppin f00

If you want to talk numbers, all be it incorrect numbers. If you open up task manager and look at your allocated memory your explorer should be around 8 - 10 meg. My LS install is currently around 6 and dropping fast. I would expect it to be around 2 by the end of the week. And I do have a SS of explorer on my machine running at around 78M so...it is always smaller. :p
