Is there any way short of reboot to bring back the disappearing desktop that happens in NT, Win2k Pro and Win2k server? It's so frustrating, no wait, I'm sorry, it's a feature!
Ctrl-Alt-Del will bring up the Task List option and it doesn't show anyhung processes. I've tried executing a "new task" of explorer, which does nothing. Is there an executable to bring the desktop icons back?

If the existing process of explorer is running kill it then start a new task of explorer from the task manager or from the run window.

Place a show desktop icon on the taskbar, if it is not there. This should refresh your desktop.

Good Luck
