Hidden “Exit Explorer” option in Windows Vista and Windows 7

There is a hidden option in Windows Vista and Windows 7 to hide the explorer.

Open start menu and on right-side press Shift + Ctrl + Right-Click


Now click Exit Explorer.



Now to bring back all the stuff back, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open task manager and go to new task and type “explorer” without quotes and press enter. Everything will be back to normal.

 

The main objective of this post was to make you aware that, if anytime you experience this kind of situation that you can only see your desktop and nothing else, just follow the steps to bring back the explorer. This should do the work.
