How to prevent Windows Explorer Crash

A situation in which virtually every Windows
user has passed is having to face a seemingly
random system crash when browsing for
folders. This usually happens when you open
many windows operating system in Explorer,
but even powerful machines in which the user
navigates sparingly are free of the problem.
In general, the only solution is to close Explorer
or, in extreme cases, restart the machine so that
everything returns to normal. Unfortunately,
Windows 7 is not free of this problem, but
provides the user the option to open folders in a
process different from the traditional Explorer.
So, if any crash during navigation, no longer
need to close all other activities on your
computer.
How to avoid Windows Explorer Crash
The process to set up a new process to navigate
folders on your computer is simple, just follow
the steps below:
1. Open any Explorer window, click on
“Organize” and then select the field “Folder and
Search Options”;
2. In the window that opens, select the tab
“View”;
3. Now just find the option “Launch folder
windows in a separate process” and leave it
checked. Then click “Apply” for changes to take
action.
Now, every time you happen to catch any folder
and may need to close the case, you will not
have to wait until the restart Explorer to
automatically revert to using the machine.
Although it is a useful option, it is worth
remembering that its use is recommended only
for those who have a computer with a good
amount of RAM (recommended is to have at
least 4GB).
In addition to consuming more resources of the
machine, enabling this option can also mean
some conflicts with extensions that use Explorer
as a parameter of operation. So, take these
factors into consideration before making the
changes, and if you notice any performance
problem, disable it immediately.
