RESET crtl alt delete

[Bernard R Buchta]

Hi,
I just received this in a message from my brother, Bob, who has this problem.
Does anyone have an idea of how to solve this Ctrl-Alt-Delete problem?
TIA ~~ Bernie in Troy, MI
=======================

Hi Bern-
I was messing around with my computer a couple of months ago, and I think that I tried to install some sort of powertool (like tweak UI). Anyhow, my three finger salute quit working on me.
Every I hit control+alt+delete, just the CPU usage History and the CPU usage % display comes up.
I have kept up to date on all virus and spyware stuff, and this doesn't seem to be the problem.
Do you know of any way that I can reset the control+alt+delete function to its original functionality? I am running XP Home. I ain't afraid of regedit, if I know what to edit.
I might try doing a system reset if you can't think of an easier way. This isn't really important, just a little mosquito that flies in your ear but doesn't bite.
Peace,
Bob

This may be a simple matter. If your brother is saying that he has lost the
tabs from his Task Manager:
Double-click on the top border of the Task Manager.
Not sure what he meant by System Reset, but hope it won't be necessary.

Hi Bernard,

Have him double click the top border. Common issue. )
