使用 C++ 重新启动 explorer.exe

Question

I already took a look at this post: How can I start explorer.exe via C++? which is an old post. I was playing around with batch file command and I wanted to replicate this function using C++

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

start explorer.exe

I'm using the

system(" ")

command in C++ to make it happen. Here is the code: Note, killing the explorer.exe is working but I can't start it again.

#include "pch.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

int main ()
{
  system("taskkill /f /im explorer.exe");
  system("explorer.exe");
}

Instead of opening the explorer.exe to bring back the windows UI, it open the quick access in windows. Any idea?

Answer 1

using cmd would be %SystemRoot%\\Explorer.exe and to use in c ++ it would be if system("C:/Windows/Explorer.exe")

Your code opens the following file C:/windows/sistem32/explorer what is the user interface, and you have to open the one on this path C:/windows/Explorer.exe I hope it works for you, luck..

Example

#include "pch.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream> 

int main ()
{
   system("taskkill /f /im explorer.exe");
   system("C:/windows/Explorer.exe");
}```
