Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes'

I have a question about How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes:

I've been having this same problem intermittently. Typically, I will be accessing some folder or drive in the left pane of Windows Explorer and all of the sudden my icons and taskbar will momentarily disappear and then reappear. Most everything seems OK with the exception of the Direct CD icon (normally in my task bar) which does not return after each of these occurrences. Subsequent use of Explorer may or may not cause a relatively lengthy hang that then in turn suggests reporting the error to Microsoft. I generally just restart the computer when the icon disappearance/reappearance act initially happens to avoid further difficulty. I see that this is also happening to others in some form or another. Has a fix for this minor bug been developed by Microsoft yet? If so, where can I find it? Thanks in advance. Rich
