20237	2001-10-06 05:27:00	So obviously you have ctrl-Alt-delete so you can close all background programs(except explorer & systray) and close the programs running in systray? Maybe try disabling task manager as well.	Guest (0)

Use it any time you need to close all open applications easily. I am surprised that this little gem is not more widely known.	Guest (0)
