looks to be a useful tool for windows…how many times we have seen the explorer hang…hope this remedies that nuisance
I would rather kill explorer.exe in task manager and restart it as a new task. The trick you have given might be useful for non techies….
even i do some thing similar what Pavan suggested, Kill Explorer.exe from task manager and then start another instance of explorer.exe
