When you often need to restart the Windows shell (Windows Explorer), you know what a hassle it can be to do it the "official" way. And so do we. That is why ShellDispenser was created; a small application that will make restarting the Windows shell a lot easier.

In the old days, you needed to use Task Manager to kill off Windows Explorer the hard way (which is the improper way by the way). An alternative was to use the "Turn off computer" screen, but that is even more cumbersome. ShellDispenser on the other hand allows you to restart your shell with the press of a key!

If restarting the shell is a part of your job, then ShellDispenser is the tool you have been looking for!

Here are some key features of "ShellDispenser":

· Close, start and restart the shell with the press of a key
· Which keys to use is fully customizable
· The shell is closed the proper way (i.e. not by brutely terminating the process)
· All shell operations can be performed from the command line for easy integration in scripts
· Can be hidden in the notification area to make some room on your screen
· Good on-line help support
· Very small application size

Limitations:

· 14 days trial
