You might need to kill explorer if it stops responding. You would probably open up Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) or even restart if you were really dumb. The clean way to close explorer is like this:
Go to Start > Turn Off Computer and hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift and press Cancel.
The start bar and desktop will disappear. To start explorer again and get them back, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to bring up the Task Manager, click New task and type explorer. Press enter to run it.
On Vista (I don’t know if this trick works also with XP) there is a clean way to kill explorer.
Open the start menu and hit CTRL+SHIFT+right mouse button on a empty space of the menu.
It will appear the EXIT EXPLORER option.
