1. Open a text file in Notepad.
2. Enter the following into it:

taskkill /im explorer.exe /f
start explorer.exe
exit

3. Save the file whatever you want but give it the extension of .bat .
4. Run the bat file you've just created.
5. Explorer will be closed, then restarted instantly and you'll what you want.

That works for me on Windows 10 LTSB, but I've no idea if it still works on the latest builds.

Only catch with doing this is it will corrupt the taskbar, so you'll need to use an alternative like SCT Taskbar or RetroBar.

Thank you!!!

R.O.B.: Bob was an experiment from a time when the concept of a GUI was only just starting to become commonplace. There was some debate from this time period about the most efficient way of doing things, as the standards were still relatively new. May 16, 2023 19:12:10 GMT -8

R.O.B.: Some were questioning the efficiency of using windows (not the OS) as a metaphor for applications, and Bob was sort of an experimental alternative to the traditional window system. Needless to say, it was a failure. May 16, 2023 19:12:54 GMT -8

R.O.B.: This mindset of an alternative to the traditional window system didn't completely die off with Bob, however. The Office Assistant is, in many ways, a sort of spiritual successor to Bob. And the Activity Centers in Neptune can also be seen in the same vein. May 16, 2023 19:15:05 GMT -8
