Abstract
We have all experienced that moment when running some process such as copying files between directories or launching a new instance of an application causes a program to lag for just a moment and, in some cases, to freeze completely. We are then forced to either wait for the current task to complete or Ctrl+Alt+Delete our way to freedom. When you are creating GUIs, you should be aware of how to handle and have foresight about avoiding these situations.
