explorer

I need to kill windows explorer's process (explorer.exe), for that it tried using

System.Diagnostics.Process.Kill("Explorer.exe");

It works but the problem is that the explorer starts again, may be windows is doing that, anyway. When i kill explorer.exe with windows task manager, it doesn't come back, its stays killed I want to do whatever taskmanager is doing through my application.
