Any way to open tray programs...

[konichiwa]

I had several programs in my task tray, and then explorer.exe crashed :|

So now they're no longer there. Is there any way I can open them back up again? :Q I see them in the Task Manager (under System Processes) but I can't switch to them. Any ideas?

Reboot.

Not really, because then they won't be there. Basically I had an FTP session running in the tray, and I need to know if it finished...and I can't just check the filenames, because it was like 500 different files.

Telling us which specific programs (executables) would help us to help you.

If they're programs you normally open up, my suggestion is to end the process and start -> run them.

Just look at the computer and say "Sup bitch! Show me the icons."

Just leave your computer up all night to make sure the files are finished then. If they aren't there, grab the rest tomorrow.

Thank you yakko, that's a fabulous idea. And martyr...thank you, but I've already thought of that. I was sort of looking for a more immediate solution.
