Hi, don't block explorer.exe! This is in fact used for Internet Explorer and the Windows shell. So I think you've done the right thing. Hope that helps.

Hi all -In addition to everything else: When I had the laptop wired in to my router, and was able to connect to the internet, the first time I went to a website, the Windows firewall popped up with a message saying it had blocked explorer.exe, and if I unblocked it, then broadcasts could be received. I unblocked it. Is this the right thing to do, or should Explorer.exe stay blocked by the firewall?Thanks -Andy** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
