Finder window won't open

Hello;
Have a 3 1/2 year old imac with OS 10.5.6 and love it; use it tons.
I was adding some music to my idisk's public folder when the copying process froze;got stuck. The little spinning disc would not go away.

I closed down all other applications. My finder window was frozen with that disc, and could not force quit it, even though tried several techniques to do so. I finally turned off the computer manually.

When I turned my imac back on, the finder window was gone. I cannot open a finder window from the finder image on my dock.

My word documents, Safari, email all work, but my desktop is blank and I cannot open any finder window.

I think that it must have been something that the idisk caused.

Can you help? ?Do you have ideas as to how I can get Apple to help? (my Apple Care is run out; also, my one-to-one subscription has run out)

Thank you, Dawn
 
Could be that window _is_ still open but out of sight (somehow). the Finder icon in the Dock will only open a new window when no other window is there. Try Cmd-N to create a new window. (Or through menus: File -> New Window.)
 
Hey Fryke-What if she went into hd>users>her title as user>Preferences {not preference panes} and trashed the finder.plist preferences and did a restart. The finder prefs may have gotten corrupted.
