Ctrl-Alt-End
Mar 16, 2008 in Tech Tricks
Ever want to do the equivalent of Ctrl-Alt-Delete to stop a process on a server that you have remote desktopped into? The equivalent is Ctrl-Alt-End.
Ever lose your desktop in Windows and faced with the blue screen of death? This just happened to me after I had to kill some non responsive processes and even after restarting twice, couldn’t see the desktop. Ctrl-Alt-Delete brought up the windows task manager, and from there you can choose File/New Task (run). Type cmd in the window that appears, and in the black screen DOS command window that appears, type explorer. This will restore your desktop.
