how do I restart explorer?

[lozina]

I'm in Windows XP...

my pc was hanging big time, like something really cpu intensive like encoding a DVD was going on but I wasn't doing anything special. I look in Task Manager and I see explorer.exe taking 90+ % cpu and my windows explorer windows are frozen. So I kill it expecting it to restart like my older version of windows but it's not coming back. How do I get it back now?

Hitting windows key + e does nothing

edit: without restarting the PC!

Run: explorer.exe

 

[Doh!]

Task manager->File->New Task->type "explorer"

Ok I was about to say you can't goto the Run dialog because the start button is gone and Windows key + R does not do anything. But I just remembered in Task MAnager you can do File -> New Task.

Thanks
