explorer.exe is a child of new process

[Paul Vriens]

Hi,

with current git/cvs I can see that there is now a new explorer.exe
process running when I start process explorer.

What is strange though, is that explorer.exe is a child of procexp.exe. Is
this supposed to be like that?

Cheers,

Paul.

If Process Explorer uses the systray then yes, it is supposed to be like 
that. If it bothers you then you can run "explorer /systray" before 
starting Process Explorer to emulate the Windows environment better and 
explorer won't be a child of Process Explorer.
