CTRL-Alt-Del give Task Manager vs Windows Security
In the Windows XP computer, Ctrl-Alt-Delete displays the Windows security group, I can quickly and conveniently lock it the screen. On another Windows XP computer, it brings up the Task Manager. Bleah. How can I change so that I get the Windows Security Committee?
IIRC, the difference in behavior for CTRL + ALT + DELETE depends on whether you have the screen of welcome (and with fast user switching).
You can also use Windows key + L to lock the computer.

Your system could be achieved a malware.
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)
The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.
The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.
You can fool the malware (and then fix it).
Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.
Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize. I like to call the copy:
c:\windows\system32\jose.exe
Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.
The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).
Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly). If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.
Usually, there are a few other things that also don't work you would like to know later, so I recommend you do this:
Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.
Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
The scans by operating clean, restart, test your task manager and we can repair any other pending issues.
If things look good, you can delete the c:\windows\system32\jose.exe file.

I am running XP. I've always been able to use pressing the Ctrl/alt/del keys simultaneously to start Manager tasks - useful to close a task does not. Recently, I had some changes due to a virus problem and now when I use Ctrl/alt/del, I get a message saying "disabled by the administrator. I have Administrator status on my normal connection.
How can I activate the Setup again?... Thank you!
Hello
If you are familiar with editing the registry, navigate to this key and change the value of the 'DisableTaskMgr ' 0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Systemhttp://computerquestionhelp.com/blogs/CTRL-ALT-Delete-Task-Manager-disabled-by-admin.html
Or you can download this zipfile to your desktop. This is a corrected policy there.
Unzip, then right-click, "VArestorepolicies.inf" and select "install".http://users.Telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/tools/VArestorepolicies.zip
As has already been suggested, it is also a Marti goo to scna the system to ensure that it is clean.

Not able to open the Task Manager by ctrl alt del does nothing
I can't run Task Manager. When I do ctrl alt del, it nothing happens when I do a search for the Task Manager and double click on it I get
Cannot find C:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe. When I hold the windows key and press x and then click on task Manger unspecified error. When I go into C:\Windows\System32 , there is none taskmgr.exe. Can't understand why the Task Manager does not work. Looks like I just need to install a file or two but I do not know.Hello
It is not listed as taskmgr.exe. Taskmgr just as an application.
You might try to open it by right clicking on your taskbar... it is\should have a button to start.

my children have used my XP computer to play games and are stuck in a program. I couldn't get the game to quit, escape did not work so I decided that I use the Task Manager and end task. However, when you press 'ctrl + alt + del' nothing happened? any ideas how I can find / turn the Task Manager?
This may be the result of malware. Download and run the free version of this tool.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
http://Malwarebytes.org/After you do this, if the Task Manager is still gray, click here to open the page Korner one Kelly.
On this page, scroll down to line 113 and in the left column, click on "Activate" to download a small .reg file. Save on the hard drive.
Once you have downloaded, run it according to the instructions at the top page of Kelly Korner.
If your antivirus opposes the execution of the file, ignore him. Files from Korner of Kelly are safe.

When I click on anything it either in the Outlook Express Preview window to stop answer and I have use the ctrl-alt-del combination for her all over again. Anyone out there have the same problem? If so what did you do about it.
Original title: I'm under Oulook Express 6 Windows XP Home SP3 environment.
Bruce:
The problem has been fixed (I think) but in a most unusual way. Let me explain.
When I was closing down to give the computer a rest yesterday, there was a pop up saying that vprotector expected to close. He really wanted the process of closing until I clicked on finish the process. Curious to know what vprotector is, I searched on the net and got a lot of shots, saying: it is a virus and should be deleted pronto. So I searched the hard drive for the vprot. * and found in the folder program files for AVG!
I then went to AVG to see if it's really a part of AVG and they said yes. If there is a problem with vprot, the toolbar is at fault and needs to be reinstalled. There was one click here to download and run the part of the program to fix the problem. However, I had WebRoot antivirus running that stopped the download of this program as a virus. Because I trust AVG, I've disabled WebRoot and reinstalled the AVG search bar.
I haven't restarted WebRoot and computer flying along as it should, and OE is the link to IE when I click on a link as it has always done.
Seems to me to be the faulty AVG toolbar and a cross with two virus programs upward was at fault. Thank you for your time. Your reply gave me a chance to think differently this problem could arise.
Computers are really complicated machines and we have to be complicated to deal with their problems.
Thanks again,

CTRL Alt Del does not work Windows 2015 10 rMBP
Hi all
I have a MacBook Pro for Windows 10 15 "Bootcamped retina.
CTRL Alt Del does not, any more than the function keys (brightness, mute, etc.).
I tried to manually reinstall the keyboard driver. It installs ok but does not solve the problem.
On Reddit, a user suggested that another user with the same problem should do a Bootcamp driver repair.
However, when I go in the Bootcamp Assistant I get only the possibility to restore the volume.
My best guess is that the Bootcamp Driver repair fix it if I could access.
Does not mention that this is the model of 2015.

Ctrl-alt-del does not not to connect even in windows xp safe mode
I use a laptop Toshiba with windows xp, when I turn on the computer and the logon window lights to use fingerprint recognition or press ctrl-alt-del to log on, we have not configured footprint so always supported the ctrl-alt-delete and then password screen lights up. Now I can't before the logon window by pressing ctrl-alt-delete. It doesn't do anything. I tried in safe mode, but also need to log in safe mode and ctrl-alt-del does not work in SafeMode either. Have tried pressing Ctrl-alt-delete twice and much more, still nothing. Have you tried ctrl-shift-esc Ctrl-alt-del before and no luck. Thank you!

Start my computer, it will default to the CTRL ALT DEL screen. After graduating in the login screen I enter the password. Windows will start and then the screen starts flashing and the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL I can boot into safe mode. All other functions will not work.
Thank you
I guess you wanted to ask how to solve the problem. If then all in Safe Mode you can use system restore to set up Windows to a point when the problem did not exist.
