    I followed the advice in this entry and found that when I right-click on the taskbar, "task manager" is greyed out. Any ideas? Do I have something disabled?

    I hate microsoft.
    It's just one of the examples of : "use the computer how we tell you or else!"
    if you are use to CTRL+ALT+DELETE there is no option to make it open the task manager again, microsoft thinks it's best that you press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, and if you oppose, sucks for you.

    I hate that they changed the keyboard shortcut, but thanks for letting me know about the new one...although I should really be thanking Google lol :P

    One good thing about the new shortcut is that you can do it with your left hand ONLY, which means that you can keep your right hand on the mouse. I hated that I had to use both hands for Ctrl-Alt-Del.

    I still hate having to get used to the change though.

    Shortcut works for me, thank you very much! It's even the same in Windows 7.

    Brilliant.... thanks for this, I'm happy again! As for those whining about change, life would be exceptionally dull without it, so get out there-go on now... and embrace it, go for a drive in a car or maybe turn on your computer ? either that or get back on your donkey with your abacus but quit whining whatever you do.
