On reflection, JmC's right - we need more information. You're assuming one perfectly valid scenario, I'm assuming a different one, because it's the one that happens to me occasionally, and it doesn't involve a corrupt Explorer - just me pushing my old machine a bit too hard.

To be specific, when I crash explorer in 98, it restarts, but I lose all the icons in the system tray, even though the apps there are still running. (No, it's not the greeting card syndrome, because it only affects the tray.)
