Occasionally Explorer hangs (or simply takes too long) e.g. when doing a
"Search" or opening "My Network Places" (which - if certain devices are
not present - can take forever...).

If one then closes that window the "root"-Explorer dies, i.e. the
desktop is gone as well...

Can't one force Explorer to start such long-running tasks in its own
process (i.e. to fork them off as seperate processes), such that when
one kills any of those one only kills that particular window/process and
not the desktop, too.

Launch folder windows in a separate process
 
Hm, that already IS set, but still certain windows apparently are NOT
started in an own process (or then THEIR crash somehow also tears down
the parent process...).
