Explorer Switch is a explorer ON\OFF switch that I made. Its useful for stoping graphics from lagging in games and it frees up a lode of ram.
I just made the program today.

so tell me what you think about it

I tested it and it works fast with no bugs!!

Thanks for the good reviews

NOTE: Explore Switch olny works in Windows XP.

If you wanna take it off just trace the shortcut and delete the file Explore_Switch.bat. The other file is a plugin thats olny in Windows XP pro but if you wanna delete it too it's called Taskkill.exe.

What exactly does it do? Why would I want to switch explorer off in the first place?

Because it takes away precious RAM, and there are some of us who have a lack of it...

@Bp103:

what do you mean with "switching off" the explorer? Did you write your own process killer? Why not use the task manager to do that? :blink:
