If your desk top is frozen solid you can try the shortcut keys to open force quit --- actually had it work once and only once.


If you can open force quit - you can relaunch Finder -- this works but only when I had to force quit an application - I than relaunched finder.


If you can right click on finder in the dock - you can trigger a restart --


If you don't have the menu bar - but can open Preview from the dock - the menu bar may appear at which time you can restart


Finder is an OSX problem seems mainly on the INTEL macs

As an update


Both my MacOSX from OS9 and my Panther booklets that came with the software - say there is a problem with the finder to go to force quit select finder and relaunch it.


Never had an osx desktop freeze on my power mac - but on the intel is has always been a total freeze where you had to shut down completely.


If the startup is not quick I will restart until I am happy and may include a relaunch of the finder.
