Using a shortcut to open Windows NT's Task Manager
You can use Task Manager to start new applications, or to end an application that's no longer responding. You can also use Task Manager to view which applications are using the most CPU time on your server.
You're probably already aware of launching Task Manager by right-clicking on the taskbar, or by pressing [Ctrl][Alt][Del] and clicking the Task Manager button.
But you can also easily start Task Manager simply by pressing [Ctrl][Shift][Esc]; we think you'll find this method a lot faster!
