Shell Icon - Renew ir if Explorer is restarted please.

The taskbar icon does not come back at the close of the
main explorer.exe. When developing a shell extension you
might end explorer with the Task Manager (or other
crashing app) and restart it (or have it restarted for
you) for the main instance (i.e. the one createing the
desktop and taskbar). In these times all end-users I
deal with expect the tray to return to the same state it
was in before a restart or crash caused it to disappear.

This link on MSDN :

us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_int/shell
_int_programming/taskbar.asp

details the ease of doing this in an application.

My thanks for any response or effort on the developers
part.

Thanks. Steve Dodson is the only one who can speak for Microsoft here, but
I feel safe in saying that Microsoft is well aware of this issue, and that
extensive work is being done on the product in preparation for beta2. I'm
sure that this issue is on their list.
