In a fullscreen application in W7, CTRL-SHIFT-ESC minimizes the window, hides the mouse pointer and does NOT open the task manager. It only works if you are already on the desktop. Doesn’t work.

ANOTHER freaking dumba55 registry hack? Say it isn't so! Imagine the f@% morons at micro$oft putting this in an option menu somewhere... ah, nope. If the fools at micro$oft made a car, each year something different would be changed. In this year's model, the brake pedal is in the trunk. GET USED TO IT you stinking sheeple! We're Micro$oft, after all, and we can do no wrong. Ask Hack_Vista, for example, and s/he'll tell you what an idiot you are. Ooooh!! ANOTHER freaking dumba55 registry hack? Say it isn’t so!

I screwed up Task Manager trying to get Ctrl-Alt-Del to work as I am used to. I went from Me to XP and Ctrl-Alt-Del opened TaskMgr for me. I used NT for about a week in 93 and wasn't impressed so I never looked back. Anyway, I was asking about straightening out TaskMgr on another forum and most of what I got from the "gurus" was not help about my problem but lectures about how TaskMan has always started with Ctrl-Shift-Esc. I guess if you were born in 1995 that is true. Microsoft keeps adding stuff that is useless to the home user or even the small business owner. How many people really need multiple users on a PC? Or passwords outside of the office? There should be an install option to say, "I don't want or need security crap." Also why do they change things like Media Player? 12 is nothing like 11. They trumpeted the mini-taskbar player and now that's gone. Sorry . .. I'm starting to rant. Gotta love Microsoft and their “we must protect you from yourself” attitude.

I was really mad about this for a couple of weeks. I've reached the point at my tweaking hierarchy in adapting to the new Windows when it's come time for me to address this one, and I was led to this page. What a nice solution... On my laptop's keyboard, ctrl+shift+esc is actually a bit more ergonomic, using the right hand for ctrl+shift. I actually like it better. I expect it might take some time to recondition myself though. Anyway, thanks for the tip. Thanks. I was really mad about this for a couple of weeks.

But right clicking on the desktop doesn't bring it up in the menu box that pops up. So one can still get task manager with the short cut. I do.
