IDEA: Program that'll allow you to change what pops up in place of Task Manager
Zero3K:
*subject* (when you press CTRL+ALT+DEL/CTRL+SHIFT+ESC)
It'll allow people to use another taskmanager in place of the default one.

Hi Zero3k,
IMHO the best TaskManager replacement is ProcessExplorer from Sysinternals.com
And hi has already an option "replace Ctrl+Shift+ESC to oben ProcEx"
And the standard answer to remap your keys is AutohotKey.com
HTH U :(
skrommel:
:( There is no way to capture the Ctrl-Alt-Del properly in AHK, but the following code comes quite close:
Download and install AutoHotKey from www.autohotkey.com. Save the script as ChangeTaskManager.ahk and doubleclick to run.
Skrommel
--- ---;ChangeTaskManager.ahk
^!Del::
Run,Notepad.exe
Return
^+Esc::
MsgBox,Calc.exe
Return

Sorry for bringing it back up, but I just recently learned of how to replace Task Manager. All you have to do is:
* First, Open the Registry Editor
* Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options
* Create a new key there called taskmgr.exe.
* In the newly created key, add a string labeled debugger.
* Edit the debugger string with the path (in quotes if necessary) to the program that you want to replace the Task Manager with.
* Finally, close the Registry Editor
BTW, I learned of the above from a MSDN blog post (http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnfa/archive/2004/10/06/238923.aspx)
