You said, "I want my CTRL ALT DEL back as that also got somehow put as needed to log in".
What do you mean by 'somehow put as needed to log in'? I don't need that to log in to my system.

I recently had my CTRL ALT DEL button combo stop working to bring up Task Manager.
It was working before. I tried restoring the system to an earlier time and couldn't go back very far, so that didn't help. Tried malware removers (many) and anti-virus program too. Nothing special there that was found. The buttons work by themselves so they aren't broken.
I managed to figure out CTRL SHIFT ESC brings up task manager, but that's not the point...I want my CTRL ALT DEL back as that also got somehow put as needed to log in. I had to figure out how to fix that for the time being, but don't want to go through all that again if it happens again.
I don't have an external hard drive yet, and no hard copy of the Windows 7 disk. Anybody out there have a Wile E. Coyote super-genius solution that doesn't require an MBA in physics to figure out? Thank you!
