Kill Vista's explorer.exe in 3 clicks

Image
The usual way of terminating the explorer process is through the Task manager. Rt-Click taskbar > Task manager > Process Tab > Right Click explorer.exe > End Process. But Vista actually offers you a faster way to do it ... in 3 clicks ! Click Start button > Hold down Ctrl+Shift & Right Click on empty area in the Start Menu > Click "Exit Explorer". To re-start it, you will have to do so as usual through the Task Manager. Click Ctrl+Alt+Delete and select Star Task Manager or press Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Then launch explorer.exe manually.

Add Move To or Copy To to Windows Vista Explorer Right Click

Type regedit in Vista's start menu search box and hit enter to open the Registry Editor. Navigate to key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers Right Click on it > New Key > Name > Move To > Enter following value: {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13} This will add Move To to the context menu. To add Copy To, name the key Copy To instead, and give it value {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13} In case you find that Send To is missing from your rt click context menu, to add it back, name the key Send To instead, and give it value {7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}
