Windows Task Manager

[Jill Johnson]

We are running Windows XP. For some reasons, when we press CTRL+ ALT+ Del
at the same time, the Windows Task Manager is displayed. Do you have any
suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Thanks.

Why is it a problem? That is the keyboard shortcut to access Windows
Task Manager!

Problem? It's not a problem at all. It's the standard way to get Task
Manager.

What did you think the keyboard combination would do?

Interesting...

On my desktop and laptop systems with XP Pro, the three
finger salute brings up a Windows Security pane with 6
options, Task Manager being one of them. That's always
been the case, so maybe that's the way it works with Pro.

This issue occurs if you configured Windows XP to use the Welcome screen.

Thanks all very much. I was expecting to have a window with 6 options
(Lock Computer, Change Password, Logoff, Shutdown, etc.) when I press
CTRL+ALT+DEL. My problem was I had the Welcome screen. With your help, my
problem is now fixed.

Thanks again for your help.
