Restart visual Studio with same project

Question

Often when you install a Visual Studio Extension to Visual Studio 2012 it gives you an option to restart (with the same project open and just as you left it).

Is there a way to MANUALLY restart Visual Studio with the same project open, for when VS starts running like a dog and intellisense has given up?

I see there are extensions for VS2010 and VS2013, but could not find one for VS2012.

You can use the following C# command with my Visual Commander extension:

public void Run(EnvDTE80.DTE2 DTE, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package package) 
{
    string vs = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName;
    string solution = DTE.Solution.FullName;
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("File.SaveAll");
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("File.Exit");
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(vs, '"' + solution + '"');
}
