Obviously. But I do think this is a security issue that needs to be solved. Let's forget the whole C-A-B discussion. We need an unmappable key sequence which only the kernel captures. Maybe C-A-D could be promoted to that? Someone on this list said that the Windows kernel intercepts this key sequence and then tells the login screen that it has been pressed. If there is no login screen, it will just open the Task Manager. Whichever keys are chosen, it would be as an instruction in the login screen: "Please press <keys> before logging in." Maybe in an information bubble it could explain how this prevents password theft, and that you should be suspicious if the instruction isn't there the next time.
