When in console session (id 0) explorer.exe crash and then restore HM tray icon don't recover and I don't see it. To recover it I need to restart HM service. But I don't want to do this.

I don't think this is possible.
Also, I think its better to install HostMonitor on system that works without regular crashes

Yes, I know we can modify HostMonitor.
My point is - what is the reason to run HostMonitor on system that does not work reliable? What if tomorrow this system crashes completely?

Normally Windows 2003 R2 is stable system. If explorer.exe crashes, I assume this problem caused by some 3rd party application running on this system. Isn't it a good idea to install HostMonitor on clean system that works reliable?

Yes, this caused by some 3rd party application running on this system, but life is life.
I think I move HM server to virtual machine.

If you plan to use VM Ware workstation or server, please note:
We tested HostMonitor on VMWare Workstation version 6.0, 6.5, 7.0 without any problems. Many customers run HostMonitor on VMWare ESX servers and it works fine as well.
At the same time several customers had problems running HostMonitor on VMWare systems and we could not find exact reason of the problems but problems were fixed when HostMonitor was moved to "physical" Windows server.

In other words, you may try to move HostMonitor to virtual machine. Most likely everything will works fine, however we cannot guarantee results.
