If you kill the process SYSTEM or EXPLOER, will they ever restart again, or will the OS be ruined…?

Ok, I believe were talking about explorer.exe. Like the start bar, desktop etc. If you closed explorer. you must have taskmgr open, if not I guess open it. File > Run > explorer.exe and it starts up again without restarting.

The explorer.exe is just the taskbar; icons and shell system in the win32 environment with the applications shells and other win32 functions..

If you kill explorer.exe it will restart; some other computers it will not.

The windows registry has been programmed to restart explorer.exe in some computers.

It is a nice thing..
