    I just recently tried to install an updated version of SmartFTP, and during the installation process it told me it would have to shut down Windows Explorer, or I would have to reboot the system. Not wanting to reboot, I elected to have the installer shut down Windows Explorer.

    Needless to say, I can't get it back now, although I can tab through the various apps I have open. Any ideas how to restore Windows Explorer within Windows Vista?

    To restore Windows Explorer, open Task Manager by hitting the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys and selecting Start Task Manager. From there, browse to File -> New Task (Run...) and type in explorer.exe. Voila
