Steps to reproduce:

* Reboot
* Open an Explorer window
* Navigate to a directory with around 1500 image files, set to
thumbnail view
* Navigate around, returning to that directory a few times
* Observe Explorer process size (VM size in Task Manager) bloat to
several hundred meg
* Observe that closing all open Explorer windows doesn't return the
process to its original,
20-odd-meg size.
