Does anyone know how to make a shortcut that has
the same effect as pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del? I need one
for Remote Desktop session, where the shortcut is
Ctrl+Alt+End, which is something that my clients
keep forgetting.

Right click desktop - create new shortcut

Use this file:

%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

click next, give it a name, example "Lock Workstation"

Click Finish

Right click shortcut - change icon - use this file to browse

%systemroot%\System32\shell32.dll

Choose the icon to represent the shortcut (I chose the lock)

Click OK, Click Apply, Click OK.  There you go!    Can't help you with the
log on - it tells you anyway if you do it wrong.  Good Luck!

Why don't you create a script that uses SendKeys to do that key combination
you require? You can then create a link to the Desktop...
