Close Explorer the proper way

When most people want to close or restart Explorer they just terminate the Explorer task via the Task Manager. Explorer is however a "regular" Windows application that shows the desktop and all open folder windows. So when it is terminated via Task Manager it won't get a chance to save it's settings. This may cause some modified Explorer settings not to be preserved when Explorer restarts again. On Windows XP, Vista and 7 this includes e.g. the list of opened folders.

However, ShellDispenser closes Explorer in a more gentle way, so that Explorer gets plenty of opportunity to save it's settings.
