MC is not using dllhost by it self.

But MC is using a lot of Windows Services for getting thumbnails, icons, Shell Context Menu.
and some of this things will load 3rd party extension into the MC processs. (Like ShellExtension/Thumbnails handles that you have installed in Windows)
And some of them my use dllhost
