I'm not quite sure I understand your question, but I would do this:

restart_exp.bat

taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10 -w 1000 > nul
@ping 127.0.0.1 -n %1% -w 1000> nul
explorer.exe

That will kill explorer.exe and wait approximately 10 seconds before restarting it. You might need to change that based on your computer speed and how long you need explorer to disappear. The value to change is the 10 in the second line.
