Windows security button
Press the Windows security button to enter the ctrl+alt+delete
command while Windows is running, or the reset command while
the Setup utility is running.
Ctrl+alt+delete command
When Windows is running, the Windows security button displays
the ctrl+alt+delete screen from which the following tasks can be
performed: Lock the computer, Switch User, Log off, Change a
password, or Start Task Manager. In the lower right corner of the
ctrl+alt+delete screen, click the Power button to shut down the
computer, or click the arrow next to the Power button, and then
click Restart, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down.
■ Both the Power button and the Shut down option, located in
the lower right corner of the ctrl+alt+delete screen, enable
you to safely shut down the tablet PC if the system has
become unresponsive.
■ Task Manager displays the status of all open programs
and enables you to close a program that has become
unresponsive.
If the system remains unresponsive after selecting Shut Down in
the Windows Security window, slide and hold the power switch
for 5 seconds. For information about using the ctrl+alt+delete
command in non-Windows programs, refer to the program
documentation.
Reset command
The Windows security button simulates the reset button found on
most computers. When the Computer Setup utility is open and the
Windows security button is pressed, the tablet PC resets and all
unsaved information is lost.
The reset function can be used to restore functionality when the
system has become unresponsive.
