re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' Wednesday, March 5, 2003 at 5:30 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mark_f (205 messages posted) I find that with 9x, if Explorer crashes, a reboot is the only way to get things back to normal. Unlike NT 5x, which recovers very well from an Explorer problem, Win9x crumples into a heap and refuses (sometimes) to do anything at all *fume*. I just couldn't take it anymore (especially when it happens while I'm online), so I upgraded OS.
