If you *really* want to avoid a reboot, you can whack ALL instances of
explorer.exe.
While it seems that after killing the instance managing your desktop it
will often restart automatically, I would keep a running Process
Explorer around - then if an explorer.exe instance for your desktop is
NOT started automatically, you can just use the "Run..." menu entry to
start an explorer.exe manually.
