CTRL+ALT+DELETE or ALT+CTRL+DELETE

**Dinglesberry** · 08-22-2016, 11:07 AM

This may be too philosophical, however

When you press ctrl alt delete, to open task manager or w/e, do you:

1. Press CTRL first, then ALT
2. Press ALT first, then CTRL

It might seem automatic but the mind subconsciously presses one first..

Personally I press ALT first, my theory its because I'm always alt tabbing between stuff.

I usually use CTRL SHIFT ESC to bring up the task manager.

Wayward Vagabond · 08-22-2016, 11:25 AM

I right click the taskbar and select task manager

I used to do tech support, right click task bar -> select task manager was how we got people who couldnt press multiple keys at the same time to open the task manager.

I hope you are proud. ;)

I added my Task Manager to the taskbar, but I still occasionally do this combination sub-consciously. I can't recall the last time I've actually used Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc all day. Can not only do it with one hand, but it's faster since you don't have to wait for that menu to open and then click another thing. Big win in my book :)

Only thing I use Ctrl+Alt+Delete for is to unlock my computer at work to log in.

Wow, I actually had no idea you could get to it via the taskbar haha. So used to just using keyboard shortcuts for everything.

**drizzleRomanceGirl** · 08-22-2016, 12:55 PM

CTRL ALT Delete is old school, they only added that weird menu after windows XP, back in the day ctrl alt delete -> straight to task manager.

Honestly I just learned about CTRL SHIFT ESC from you guys today in this thread lol.. jesus is that ever a weird key combo o_O I have to lift and turn my hand to hit it lol, put my pinky and ring on CTRL + SHIFT in such a weird way.

**Dinglesberry** · 08-22-2016, 12:59 PM

Holy crap unless you press SHIFT with index finger, CTRL with thumb and ESC with middle finger...

wtf o_O

taskmgr.exe

**SpaceGorilla** · 08-22-2016, 03:20 PM

i just make my own OS and keyboard so the hotkey is something along the lines of F2 + Page Up + Alt but that's just me

Izzy · 08-22-2016, 03:42 PM

Ctrl, Alt then delete because that is the order they go from left to right.

However I haven't needed to do that in years. To get to the task manager you can right click the start menu corner. Or perhaps just type task manager after opening the start menu.

**rushyrulz** · 08-22-2016, 03:48 PM

I use ALT + F4.
