Forums -> UltraMon™ -> 'Always on top' fails after Explorer.exe restart

Due to company restrictions, i have to reset Windows Explorer every time i change the wallpaper (long story).

After Explorer.exe is restarted, the 'Always on top' rule is ignored / fails.

if i then disable and re-enable 'always on top', it works again.

Which version of UltraMon and Windows are you using?

I tested on Windows 7 with UltraMon 3.2.2, but so far haven't seen this issue. explorer.exe was closed and restarted via Task Manager.

Windows 7 x64 Professional, Ultramon 3.2.2

I use LinqPad (Administrator) to restart Explorer.exe:

public void RestartExplorer() { Process p = new Process(); foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process exe in System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()) { if (exe.ProcessName == "explorer") exe.Kill(); } }

I'm still not seeing this issue, also when killing explorer.exe using your code (compiled in Visual Studio).

Do you have the same issue if you restart explorer.exe via Task Manager?
