Reboot or kill explorer.exe and restart it.
Some registry changes require you to restart Windows before they are
enabled.
And that one requires it.
To kill explorer and restart it.
Open the Task Manager...
Ctrl + Shift + Escape | Click on the Processes tab | Locate and highlight
explorer.exe | Right click explorer.exe | Click End Process | Click
Yes to the Task Manager Warning that pops up | Click File on the Toolbar |
Click New Task (Run...) | Type in: explorer | Click OK
End Process on explorer.exe will make your Desktop, Taskbar and all programs
disappear. This can be startling. Restarting explorer will bring
everything back.
This can fix/restore/reinitialize/refresh a lot of things.
