    vista: any way to make ctrl-alt-del task manager shortcut only?

    not sure if the same problem occurs on other versions of vista, but is it possible to set ctrl-alt-del to the task manager shortcut, similar to most versions of XP? or is there an alternate task manager keyboard shortcut?

    hitting that shortcut directs me to a menu that crashes ffxi, so i'm hoping there are some work arounds.

    thanks

    guess i found it, it's ctrl-shift-esc.

    still, if anyone knows how to change the shortcut i'd appreciate it. kinda annoying to learn a new shortcut after using ctrl-alt-del for such a long time.

    Found a few boards where MS MVPs are recommending 3rd party apps like www.autohotkey.com; I figure if MS people are recommending that, there's not much else to be done.

    ctl+shift+esc works fine.

    you can't change the behavior of the ctl+alt+esc though. although this behavior is basically what server has done for years, so it shouldn't be too surprising that vista does it now too.
