I know it's none of my business, but why exactly do you want to kill explorer.exe?

explorer.exe will restart too, on a normal machine. Minus some icons.

Well if some of these program are starting with the computer startup why not keep them from starting up in the first place.
AdobeARM.exe does not necessarily need to be running.
Neither does your hamachi program.

Not sure why you would want to kill Catalyst Control Center either?

That's right. Sometimes I use the one that comes with Advanced System Care, and it pretty much does the job.
