| x64 Home Premium | change ctrl/alt/del to load task manager as it did in XP? Someone asked me how to do this earlier today, and I didn't know, so I'll ask the geniuses here. Is there a way to change the control-alt-delete key command in Vista so it loads task manager, like it used to in XP, instead of the multi option jibberish that it currently loads? Thanks! |

You can try a hotkey program and assign Task manager to Ctrl+Alt+Del though. Have a look it: Best Free Hotkey / Macro Recorder Utility |
