iexplore.exe is something of a special case. As part of Microsoft's
strategy to monopolize the Web browser market, it was designed to be
an integral part of the OS. Antitrust decisions forced Microsoft to
make it an optional, replaceable component, but it's still linked with
the OS more tightly than most applications.

The Windows Explorer / My Computer file browser is part of
explorer.exe. Kind of weird, yeah.
