Needing to click through to open the task manager makes it so hard to close unresponsive programs especially when Vista slows downs as well. Thanks for the tip.

That is lame & not a solution, I don't like or want to press Ctrl+Shift+Esc (too many keys on one hand), I want to press Ctrl+Alt+Del & get Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt with left hand, Del with right)...it would be fine if they were flipped tho...

Ctrl+Shift+Esc = "That Screen" (What Vista does now for Ctrl+Alt+Del)
Ctrl+Alt+Del = Task Freaking Manager

Heck even if Ctrl+Alt+Ins were Task Manager it would be better, Ctrl+Alt+Ins is alot closer to Del, to be able "to get used to" (conform much?)...to be clear, either of these (or a option somewhere to, um, CHOOSE) would be good/fine...

Ctrl+Alt+Del = Task Manager
Ctrl+Alt+Ins = "That Screen"

...OR...

Ctrl+Alt+Del = "That Screen"
Ctrl+Alt+Ins = Task Manager

I may see if AutoHotkey can help me here, if I succeed, I will post a link to a script here, to put the CHOICE back into the USERS hands!

That is a virus, try to make a system restore since last time you open task manager without problem, if you don't remember, try more time to be sure it will fix it, remember, if you install something after the day you choose to restore your computer, will be uninstales from the registry, so means that them doesn't will run!!!! but you will still have it on the computer, you don't will lose any documents, 100% sure.

I think this is much better, because you only need one hand to do this.

Just keep practicing it and very soon you gonna love it.

Also in most keyboards or laptops the Del key is always in a different location.

But these keys are mostly in fixed location, however the ctrl key could be the exception.

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.

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

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.

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

microsoft hater — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 06:06:04 -0000

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 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?
