Word on the street says that disabling the aero theme/having the screen resolution window open fixes the problem as well. However I rather like the resolution, like being lazy and decided to take your idea one step further.
I made a batch file (even used a shortcut)
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
start /w FS.exe
start explorer.exe
I expect you to spread this knowledge in my stead
(oh and I can elaborate as needed)
