Best I can tell, this one is fixed in VFP8. Note that VFP doesn't crash in this situation, but Windows Explorer does. If the OS is NT based (i.e. NT, Windows 2000, or XP) you can Ctr+Alt+Delete, then start the OS Task Manager, then do a File/New Task and run Explorer.exe to restart Explorer. I think it restarts automatically on XP.

>Is this a common VFP problem? Anytime I have an VFP exe that's in the middle of doing some processing (note, not when the app is idle), and I right click on the exe's task bar box, it causes issues like blanking out my screen, hiding all the desktop icons, etc. It's always the case.
