Umm.. Maybe we're talking about different OS/s? In XP at least, C-A-D
directly brings up the Task Manager. Don't know about Windows 7 or
Vista.

Depends on some configuration settings. On all of the Xp systems I use, when
one presses Alt+Ctrl+Delete, once sees a "Windows Security" box with two rows
of three buttons, the one in the middle of the lower row being the Task
Manager button. The buttons are "Lock Computer", "Log Off", "Shut Down",
"Change Password", "Task Manager", and "Cancel". Ctrl+Shift+Esc is
configuration-independent.
