Before you are tempted to simply turn off the power button, try holding down the CTRL+ALT & the DELETE keys at the same time. Release after a moment. Hopefully Windows will then let you exit your program or let you click on a display that says, 'End Task.'


One-Click Option: The Active Desktop Option
You can select program icons by single clicking on them instead of double clicking on them. (Not available with Windows 95 unless Internet Explorer has been updated.) Select (click on) Start, then select Settings, then select Folder Options. When the Folder Options window appears, select Web style. Click Apply & OK.
