How do I restart explorer?


Recommended Posts

I've tried and tried. I can kill the process, but running explorer.exe opens an explorer window, not the entire program. Even doing it via a CMD command, IN AUTOIT, doesn't work. 
That's not to say typing explorer.exe into CMD doesn't work. That works fine. But not in code... :mad2:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to post the code.
 

#RequireAdmin
RegWrite( "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer", "NoTrayItemsDisplay", "REG_DWORD", "1")
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'Taskkill /f /im explorer.exe', "", @SW_HIDE)

Do
   Sleep( 100 )
Until Not ProcessExists( "explorer.exe" )
MsgBox(0, "Success", "Explorer has now been closed." )
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'explorer.exe', "", @SW_HIDE)

Run("explorer.exe")

Both 
 

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'explorer.exe', "", @SW_HIDE)

Run("explorer.exe")

 

have the same result. The both open an explorer window.
