IDEA: explorer.exe auto-restarter

(1/3) > >>

brotherS:
Hi,

I'd like to add code to my AHK script to always restart explorer.exe maybe 20 seconds after it died or after I had to kill it. Windows should restart it automatically, but often does not  :(

What do you think? And what would be the best way to do this?

mouser:
wasn't there a coding snack written for this (kansas): https://www.donationcoder.com/CodingSnacks/index.php

brotherS:
No, not really, it has a quite different purpose:

Well, XP? use

TSKILL Explorer

And windows will always restart it...

Other Windows based systems? Download TSKILL and use the above method :P

Edit: WTF, why is the : P smiley so messed up?
