Good day, Robert.   
      
    BK>   Do you have windows explorer turned off from the beginning? If   
    BK>   not, the idea is Windows Explorer is hogging memory even when   
    BK>   you aren't using it. I use Ztree for my file handling.   
      
   	I bit late in replying to you. I have not turned off Windows Explorer, I just   
   ignore it. Not a very positive move but tell me how to turn it off ? On W-8, I   
   do not see its file in the OS, on XP, I can see it but again, as I do not use   
   XP much any more, I did not bother.
