Many people have had the problem. After uninstalling the great but oh so laggy Aston Shell, you suddenly can’t get your taskbar back after explorer.exe crashes. Or worse, you don’t get any taskbar at all. But there is a fix.

Using some information gathered from various forums, I compiled a tiny little registry patch that cures the problem. It simply resets the default shell to explorer.exe (something the Aston Shell Uninstall usually forgets). Apply the patch, reboot, and everything should be working again!

You can get the patch here: http://sven-slootweg.nl/downloads/download.php?id=9

If you have any problems, feel free to post a comment.
