End Explorer.exe properly?

[Mgamerz]

I was reading up somewhere online that that there is a way to properly exit explorer.exe. When you do it, especially on windows 7 (just killing explorer processor), it seems to make duplicate of many processes. Perhaps forcing a logout/login or using the proper method of closing and restarting explorer would work better (so processes end and not make duplicates).
:::After reading it a bit, it doesn't look like you can do it automatically. If you could give an option to update/install without it automatically killing it (making me reboot/logout/in), I could just do this:
