How to Cancel Installer?

I began to to a clean XP install and realized I need to
backup "My Documents" first. However, I can't get the
system to reboot without it restarting the installer. Is
there a way to cancel the installation process? It never
got past the part where I put in my CD Key, so it should
not have actually started the reinstall process.
