explorer.exe is different to what you maybe referring to - you are referring to application tasks, well, this is what Task Manager defines it as. It's hard to explain, yes it is Explorer that is showing you the folders and the desktop etc...
I cant find anything in the .NET Framework which will be of some use to what you may be after but I will dig around and see what I can find.
