A thermal break is part of the construction to minimize heat or cold transfer. It is best defined by the National Fenstration Rating Council, NFRC 100-2010:
Thermally broken (TB) members: system members with a minimum of 5.30 mm (0.210 in) separation provided by a low conductance material (where thermal conductivity ≤ 0.5 W/mK, (≤ 3.6 Btu·in/h·ft2·ºF) or open air space between the interior and exterior surfaces. Examples of such systems include (but are not limited to) pour and debridged urethane systems, crimped-inplace plastic isolator systems, and pressure glazed systems with intermittent fasteners.
[Note: Intermittent fasteners shall be manufacturer's standard. Nominal spacing of fasteners shall be 150 mm (6 in) apart or greater.]
Thermally improved (TI) members: system members with a separation ≥ 1.60 mm (0.062 in) separation provided by a material [where thermal conductivity ≤ 0.5 W/mK, (≤ 3.6 Btu·in/h·ft2·ºF)] or open air space between the interior and exterior surfaces. Such systems include members with exposed interior or exterior trim attached with clips and all skip/debridged systems.
Broken windows theory was created in 1996.
check wikipedia... simply go to google and type windows 7 and look out for wikipedia link!
glaziers replace windows
Yes you can open windows with broken sash cords; however, the windows will probably not stay open unless you replace the broken cords.

No. If you will have insulation around a can, make sure it is thermally protected.

No. A thermal break means that there is a break or gap between the external structure and the internal structure. A window therefore would have to be double glazed to achieve this.
The best source to get the info about Windows Explorer is Wikipedia. At the same time you will find there a lot of links that can help you to learn how to use the Windows Explorer.
