How to make Ctrl+Alt+Del switch directly to Task Manager? [duplicate]

You can use Ctrl+Shift+ESC to access task manager directly


You can't redirect it, however if you use the combination Ctrl+Shift+Esc it will launch the task manager directly.

Here is a nice big list of the keyboard shortcuts that Windows 7 supports and some of the programs that it comes with.


Another quick way to launch Task Manager, if the keyboard key combinations (both Ctrl + Alt + Del or Ctrl + Shift + Esc) does not work:

  1. Just right click on the task-bar and there is an option of "Start Task Manager"

  2. You can go to "Run" (Win + R) and type taskmgr; this will launch Task Manager
