236715 2004-05-15 00:56:00 explorer.exe is windows explorer (for looking around the files in your pc) and explorer.exe is internet explorer which is proberly what your useing to post the post with.

if youre having problems with boot up i would start with checking whats running at startup. run msconfig and go to startup tab.

236716 2004-05-15 00:58:00 Iexplorer.exe = as the name suggests is Internet Explorer
Explorer.exe = is the windows shell, if you kill this then your have to restart.

I suggest you run scan disk, Disk Defragmenter & a Anti-Virus Programs & as well run Ad-aware & Spybot-S&D to see if there is any thing there that could be slowing down your start-up.

Also have you run windows update?

Also what are your computer specks?

I think you mean explorer.exe is Windows Explorer, iexplorer is Internet Explorer.

236718 2004-05-15 01:01:00 Explorer . exe is your windows explorer and unless you are using a 3rd party file browser is essential to the running of your system .

IE is your internet browser <dig> or should be only that if MS hadn't embedded it into your OS <end dig> .

Is your antivirus upto date, firewall on and upto date, system patched .

Have you run Spybot S&E (use new version 1 . 3 only . 1 . 2 is now obsolete), Adaware and CWShredder .

What else is running in you Running Tasks and Processes tabs (Ctrl+Alt+Del)

Clean out your temp files, internet cache, etc .

236722 2004-05-17 01:49:00 iexplorer.exe != Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer = iexplore.exe (sans the r)

iexplorer.exe is a component of RapidBlaster
