The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

"iexplore.exe" appears too many or not enuf times, using varying resources

Asked by dgrrr in Windows Vista, Windows XP Embedded

I have now seen this problem on three machines -- two with XP using ie7, another with Vista using ie8.

When no Internet Explorer windows are open, there are no instances of "iexplore.exe" under task manager / processes. But if I open one IE window, then I see two instances of iexplore.exe, with one always using about double the resources of the other (mem usage & vm size).

One the xp machines, I usually had twice the number of "iexplore.exe" processes as I had windows - -and there was always the pairing of more resources / less being used.  So if I had four IE windows open, I'd have eight total instances of iexplore.exe. (Four using 16k and four using 30k of mem)

Then yesterday, on the vista machine, it was different. I opened one IE window; I had two "iexplore.exe"s.  I opened a second IE windows. Now I had three iexplore.exes. I opened a third window. I still had 3 processes. I opened a fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh IE window. I still had only three "iexplore.exe"s. I closed all but one IE windows. I still had three "iexplore.exe"s.  I closed and reopened task manager to be sure.

One of the "iexplore.exe"s was using 16k ram, the second, 60k, the other, 163k.  

The xp machines had been scanned with spybot & mbam, the vista pc, not yet.

Is this supposed to happen? (with the # of processes?)
