Vista Task Manager Control Alt Delete Alternatives
Say hasta la Vista to control alt delete in Windows Vista. If you're familiar with those legendary keys bringing up the Task Manager, get ready for a change. Vista's control alt delete now brings up a full screen menu. Your options?
Lock this computer
Switch User
Log off
Change a password
Open Task Manager
So far I've not come accross any hacks to directly fix the issue, but there are still three solutions.
Solution #1
The new keyboard short cut is CTRL+SHIFT+ESC. Seems a little bit harder to remember if you ask me ;).
Solution #2
Right clicking on the task bar opens a context menu, which happens to have Task Manager as an option.
Solution #3
Open your start menu, and type "taskmgr" (no quotes) in the search bar, and click enter. Doing so should automatically run it.
