Windows 7 - no C_A_D or C_A_B functionality?

from Stardock Forums

Perhaps I overlooked it somewhere.  Perhaps I merely haven't stumbled across the right key combination of control-alt-windows-openapple-c-reset-select-start.  

 

Sending the CAD sequence seems to be fairly simple.  Even microsoft manages to handle this in their Terminal Services Client.  Yet this functionality still seems to be elusive.  So, is there a firm word on when (if ever) we'll truly be able to stick to a SINGLE keyboard and mouse, or are we stuck for the indefinite future having to walk down the line and smack the magic 3 buttons on multiple machines every major patch release day?

Hope this helps...   I managed to get around the need by turning off the Ctr-Alt-Del requirement for Login.  To get to that toggle you can open the Control Panel, click User Accounts, then click User accounts again, then click Manage User Accounts.  This will open up a new window.  In the User Accounts window, click and choose the Advanced tab.  On this tab is a check box for Require users to press Ctr+Alt+Del.  If you uncheck that you'll be all set.

 

Least, that's what I've done.....

 

Edit: This is for Windows 7.  The setting will probably still be there in other versions, but probably in a different place.  If nothing else you can find in all versions a Local Group Policy that will do it.

Unfortunately when using a domain environment where CAD is enforced, turning it off isn't an option.
