Here goes,  I have a new Win 7 Pro 64 installation SP1. 16gb ram AMD athlon II 455, sata 6, USB 3.0.  After adding all the software and files I saw this strange thing with Windows Explorer.  No matter where I click to run it , ie, task bar, programs/accessories, etc I see it running as a service under svchost where dcom runs.  It always ran under explorer.exe below winlogon.  I'm looking at Procexp64 when I see this.  In the task manager it says it is an application.  Does not matter if I use the run in new process or not switch.  My execution line is C:\windows\explorer.exe /e,C:\data in the lnk.  Some times it see it under explorer.exe for a second then it goes right to svchost and runs there. Every thing else senns to be working fine.  I tried uninstlling video drivers for AMD and Diamond 6670 and reinstalling them plus just about everything else I could think might be causing this problem.  Thanks in advance for your help.
