When you often need to restart Windows Explorer manually this can get quite cumbersome.  This is true if you i.e. develop Windows shell namespace extensions (NSE's).  Each time you test your name space extension, you have to restart Explorer to be able to compile your NSE.

For this reason we have developed ShellDispenser; a small utility that will make restarting the Windows shell that much easier.  Restarting Windows Explorer can now be done with the press of a key, or as an integrated build step in your NSE build process!

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

Benefits

Some benefits of ShellDispenser are:

  • 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
Look at the on-line help of ShellDispenser for a complete overview of the characteristics (opens in a new window).
