The process termed as msie.exe, which is a type of an executable or EXE file, is a module known by the service name IEXPLORE or sTemp, and is a part of the program IEXPLORE, also MSI. During the installation process of this software product that houses the file, msie.exe is added onto the computer system, where it is registered into a Windows registry and into a Windows Task Scheduler, and stored on a folder location, usually in C:\Program Files, or C:\Documents and Settings, then automatically run itself as a background service. That is when it starts to enable its function, and must not be disrupted or terminated, since it has a part that completes the overall capability of the program that bundles it. In addition, msie.exe is compatible with most versions of Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, also called as Windows operating system or Windows OS, such as Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
