Vista Tutorial - Ctrl,alt,delete

When pressing the close sequence I want the programme to close immediately

To close a program press ALT + F4

CTRL + ALT + DEL is not a close sequence.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Alt-Delete if you want to understand
what it does.

As Mark told you, Ctrl-Alt-Del (in Vista, Ctrl-Alt-Esc) brings up the
Task Manager. You can stop programs/processes using the Task Manager.
Simply pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del/Esc has never immediately shut down a
running program. As Mark told you, use Alt+F4.

Myomy, how long ago has it been that the three-finger-salute did that.
And for how many moons ago has Alt+F4 been introduced?

Hi Jimbo - You should be aware that there are some naughty webpages that
nothing can close but the main off button. The computer freezes. Alt/F4 is of
no use. Of course that never happened to me!
If one does not have quick access to the off button or the wall plug, one
should be careful. Wayne

You probably mean Ctrl+Shift+Esc for the Task Manager:

Ctrl+Alt+Del can be used for this function in Vista:

When I press Ctrl+Alt+Del on my PC, I get the Windows Security dialog

Can't be done, sorry. How would Windows know which program to close?
