"Launch browser windows in a separate process" option missing in IE5.01 (registry hack). Setting this option to 'yes' may stop Windows Explorer from trying to access the internet
As per
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;240928,
this option can no longer be adjusted from within IE from
version 5.01 onwards. Sometimes the registry settings which
are meant to be 'automatic' are set incorrectly and can
cause problems such as Windows Explorer trying to access the
internet.
Make sure both of the following registry keys are set to
'yes'. If you have a 'low RAM' machine (less than 128 meg)
the options should be set to 'no'.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows/
currentversion/explorer/BrowseNewProcess
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/microsoft/windows/
currentversion/explorer/BrowseNewProcess
