Ctrl,alt,delete

[Guest]

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.

Thanks Mark, I didn't word the request very well, when I HAVE to shut down
using the three fingered salute I want the prog to shut down straight away,
is this possible?.

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.

Jimbo shared these words of wisdom:

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

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

As Mark told you, Ctrl-Alt-Del (in Vista, Ctrl-Alt-Esc) brings up the
Task Manager.

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?
