The Ctrl-Alt-Del used in PCs is a system level hardware signal – it is impossible to generate this without hardware. OnScreen includes a CTALTDEL.EXE program with capabilities of handling resets and communication with the NT/2000/XP Logon module. You may also review the commercial Developer’s Kit in our Developer’s Corner for utilities that restart / reboot the system. Finally, review the TASKMAN.EXE program in the WINDOWS folder – this has functionality similar to the pop-up task manager in Windows 95/98.
