      However, this is the way windows work, and you cannot do much about it.
      Under Linux, whenever you have the graphical environment frozen (badly coded app, badly coded graphical server, or both of them...) you can always press alt+ctrl+backspace to restart the graphical environment- the core system will not be affected.
      And even if the above procedure does not work, pressing alt+ctrl+F1-6 will bring you a virtual terminal to logon.
      And as a last resort, if none of the above simple tricks is working, you can set and use the system magic key (usually alt+SysRq+v) to get a working console- hopefully with debugging options.
      I guess all these options will be ported to Windows Vista- or not?

      in xp you can actually restart explorer although manually browsing in task manager for the explorer.exe

      not perfect but can get you back into windows gui to carry on
