Restarting explorer.exe process in Windows 2008 server connected remotely

Version: 

Version: Windows Server 2008; Release 2 64 Bit

Issue:

Accidentally killed explorer.exe process via Process Explorer tool in Windows 2008 server. The connection to the server was via Remote Desktop

Killing the explorer resulted in all windows getting closed. No start screen or taskbar either

Solution:

1. Press  <CTRL> <ALT> <END>  keys on the remote desktop session. This command is similar to   <CTRL> <ALT>  <DEL>  on local system , which will open the Task Manager

2. In the task manager window click "New Task" under Applications tab.

3. In the New Task window opened, type "explorer.exe" and  click OK. 

This will open a new instance of explorer
