How do I restart explorer?

[Draygoes]

I've tried and tried. I can kill the process, but running explorer.exe opens an explorer window, not the entire program. Even doing it via a CMD command, IN AUTOIT, doesn't work. 
That's not to say typing explorer.exe into CMD doesn't work. That works fine. But not in code... 

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to post the code.
 

#RequireAdmin
RegWrite( "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer", "NoTrayItemsDisplay", "REG_DWORD", "1")
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'Taskkill /f /im explorer.exe', "", @SW_HIDE)

Do
   Sleep( 100 )
Until Not ProcessExists( "explorer.exe" )
MsgBox(0, "Success", "Explorer has now been closed." )
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'explorer.exe', "", @SW_HIDE)

Run("explorer.exe")

Both 
 

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'explorer.exe', "", @SW_HIDE)

Run("explorer.exe")

 

have the same result. The both open an explorer window.

You need to use 64-bit compiled script:

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Local $sExplorer = "explorer.exe"
While ProcessExists($sExplorer)
    ProcessClose($sExplorer)
WEnd
Run($sExplorer)

This snippet also restarts it:

Local $Kernel32 = DllOpen("kernel32.dll")
Local $hproc = DllCall($Kernel32, 'int', 'OpenProcess', 'int', 0x1F0FFF, 'int', True, 'int', ProcessExists('explorer.exe'))
DllCall($Kernel32, "int", "TerminateProcess", "int", $hproc[0], "dword", 0)
DllClose($Kernel32)

I got it from another thread, but because this thread is newer the other is a bit more hidden.

I use it to refresh the icon layout after doing a

RegDelete("HKCU64\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop","IconLayouts")
