I could be wrong - but I don't believe Microsoft really supports restarting Windows Explorer like that.
Sure, developers have been doing it for a long time as a quick way to restart Windows, but there's still a lot of things that break
when you restart Windows by restarting Windows Explorer - especially a number of System Tray programs that then get lost b/c Windows Explorer is not longer tracking it for some reason.

So, I wouldn't expect anything in better support until Microsoft provides better support for doing so, which isn't likely.

Just 2 cents.
