There's an option to open everything in separate processes. It's in tools -> folder options -> view IIRC

It's annoying that when the file manger crashes or hangs the hole shell needs to be restarted.

I'd still vote for seperated shell and file manager.
What are your reasons? And how do you want to accomplish that while retaining Windows compatibility? Many applications and also ReactOS already depend on "explorer.exe" being the shell and the file manager.
In fact, most code of the "file manager" in Windows is implemented in "browseui.dll" and not directly in "explorer.exe". In Explorer, it's just one query whether a desktop window already exists, then Explorer plays the shell, otherwise it plays the file manager.
