Is "sldShellEstServer.exe" a bug or a SolidWorks virus?

Jan 28, 2009 1 Replies

I am using SolidWorks 2009 SP2. There is a process running rampant once I start up SolidWorks and use the program Windows Explorer. This process sldShellEstServer.exe just sucks up all of my ram while regenerating only SolidWorks file icons. I need to restart the computer to get my ram back. Is "sldShellEstServer.exe" a bug or a SolidWorks virus? Mac


SolidWorks has confirmed that they have an issue with thumbnails regenerating while using a computer security program Trusted Desktop. They suggest calling your local support rep for info on how to change some reg files. This is a temporary fix until they can isolate the problem. Mac
