How Can I Make Ctrl Alt Del Go Right To The Task Manager In Windows 7

Today’s Question & Answer session comes to us courtesy of SuperUser—a subdivision of Stack Exchange, a community-driven grouping of Q&A web sites.

The Question

SuperUser reader Belgi has a very simple request:

Surely there is a trick, registry hack, or some clever maneuver that can help poor Belgi, no?

I have no use for any other option on this screen, can I change it so the combination will get my directly to the Task Manager?

The Answer

SuperUser reader Xander27 has exactly the kind of answer we like…

… the dead simple ones that teach us all a new trick or two. I can’t speak for the other distinguished members of the How-To Geek staff, but I will hang my head in shame at the realization that I’d been (for years!) using a keyboard shortcut and then a mouse click to achieve what a keyboard shortcut alone could achieve.

Have another clever keyboard shortcut to share? Sound off in the the comments. Want to read more answers from other tech-savvy Stack Exchange users? Check out the full discussion thread here.
