OMG! Thanks for ur post, it helps me a lot, and now i got cleared!!
Thanks for providing this information.
I’m so used to killing explorer.exe to fix a visual quirk, or some element not updating. Never even crossed my mind to use this. Almost panicked for a moment when even logging out did not solve the problem at hand. My 7 setup is pretty well customized, so almost wanted to believe something went horribly wrong Lol
