I did that, but how do you restart it?

Got it, through another one of my apps that shows and hides the desktop, I
have an options of showing the icons on the desktop through a hotkey. I
copied a shortcut to Windows Explorer to the desktop and then stopped
Explorer. Using the hotkey I was able to start Explorer again and that Icon
did show. Thanks a lot Karl, I will not implement this option in all my
other apps.

Explorer restarts automatically if/when the last instance is killed... or
have you configured something else as the shell?

Hi Bob,

It does not restart on my install of Windows 7 64 bit, I have to restart it
manually.

I have seen that happen, although very rarely. The "trick" if you want
to call it that, is to kill it (all instances of it) with Task Manager
in the Processes tab, then switch over to the Applications tab which
offers you a "New Task..." button. :-)
