The W9X Task Manager was less flexible and useful. It is accessed with Ctrl-Alt-Del.
I tend to run Win98 for doing Internet activity; it's much less targeted, and easier
to defend. So right now I can't compare the three, W98se, W2K, WxP. (I also have
lost the SP2 CD, so currently XP is still fairly naked on the gaming PC I had to
have it on.)
(And Microsoft is being very stubborn about not answering how to pay the current
$1.50 handling cost without a credit card. Don't say download it; that's 10-12 hours
on dial-up, and interrupted long before ever going that long. No local broadband
competition, so only dialup is affordable.)
That's neither here nor there, but this is: I don't remember ever using Ctrl-Shift-Esc
for anything in any MS product, but that's what Microsoft's own shortcut list says
to use for Task Manager, and doesn't seem to mention the Ctrl-Alt-Del (I'll look
again, slowly). Nope. That one's not anywhere in their list.
Any forum readers want to opine why not?
