I just recently upgraded my Dell 4100 Dimension from Windows ME Edition to Windows XP. Beside the fact that I have old applications with incompatibility problems, I have noticed the speed of my computer significantly decrease. I checked the processes that were running and noticed that the process "explorer.exe" was running with over 50k of memory.
I've looked at all sorts of comments on this subject with no real response or at least a response that did not require an I.T. degree to understand.
I'm sure it's something to do with my settings, but don't know where to begin. I also don't know if it's some sort of virus/worm. Any help would be appreciated.
