How to restart the taskbar without rebooting the computer

A lot of times Windows throws an error saying that Windows Explorer is not working and then my taskbar disappears. Usually it restarts itself. But sometimes, it annoyingly doesn't and I keep tons of my work windows open usually.

I found a workaround:

Basically,

1) Ctrl-Shift-Esc
2) Under 'Processes', close explorer.exe
3) Under 'File', run new task, type in 'explorer'.

Cool.
