Windows Key - R or ctrl-alt-del, make sure you are on the applications tab, then go to File - Run, and type Explorer.exe, and ok.

this also can help if explorer crashes suddenly and doesn't restart itself. usually though, if explorer does crash it'll start back on its own.

...and although Explorer is supposed to be like any other application crash/restart wise, it may have done collateral damage, so a restart may be indicated.
