Hi Ramesh,

this is a easy task: First enumerate all running processes on the system,
then find all explorer processes and kill them all. Finally start a single
explorer instance. Explorer restarted!


Enumerate all processes and restart explorer:
------------------------

foreach(Process p in Process.GetProcesses()){

try{


//compare it with "explorer "

if(p.MainModule.ModuleName.Contains("explorer") == true)p.Kill();

}catch(Exception e){

//do some exception handling here

}

//restart explorer

Process.Start("explorer.exe");

}

Thats it,...!
