Hi Chris.
You can launch the Task Manager with shit-ctrl-escape. Ctrl-alt-delete
brings up the Windows Security dialogue box, with a button to launch the
Task Manager.
Hope this helps.
Chat soon.

Because of an ongoing family emergency, I've been spending only a couple
of days a week at home. The rest of the time, I've been somewhere where
I only in the last couple of weeks started having computer access after
a family member offered to allow me to install my Window Eyes on their
computer. So, my planned learning of Windows 7 in a slow, structured
manner has become a bit of a rush on another person's system where I
can't really change a lot of settings. I'm actually coming along pretty
good all things considered, but there is one major issue that is a
problem each and every time i start up this computer. They have Weather
Bug set up to open automatically upon startup and Window eyes doesn't
seem to like this. I don't know what the issue is, but I don't really
care about getting WE and Weather Bug to get along right now. I just
want to shut it down as soon as startup is finished, but even that is
proving problematic. If I try to close the application via the Weather
Bug window, it simply ignores me. I can click close again and again and
it just sits there and keeps going. So, then I tried the system tray and
clicking the buttons to perform either a left or right mouse click both
accomplish nothing. OK, not entirely true, a right mouse click sometimes
causes Window Eyes to say 'context menu', but there isn't a context menu
there, so it doesn't really help anything. The only way I have been able
to successfully shut Weather Bug down is to bring up the application
manager and manually end the application. Even that takes a bit of doing
since when I press control+alt+delete I often only get the buttons to
lock this computer and the other shut down and switching options
available. It usually takes a couple of tries to get the button to start
the application manager to start up.
So, is there an easier way in Windows 7 to get this done? I could tinker
with things a lot more if it was my computer. The thing has some issues
that I am itching to fix, but I haven't got permission to do so and am
not as certain about whether or not I really know what I am doing since
this is Windows 7 and I am just getting started figuring out the changes
made since XP. I can continue the way I've been going if I have to, it
is working in the end, but if I can correct things without making
changes that would alter the interface the technophobic owners are used
to, it would make things much easier.
Thanks,
Chris
