Of course Ctrl Alt Del sounds more.. 'right' but I do it with the keys at right of the spacebar, thus it's Alt Ctrl Del. And it's better because you can be cool and do it with one hand.. The left way is far away and retarded.

You are teh stupid. NO ONE does it your way.

But you can do it with one hand! Now that's L337! ;)

If I had a digi-cam I would take a pic, but it's just.... not normal to do it YOUR way ;) (nearly impossible for me to do it your way with one hand)

It's easy.
1. Take your right hand
2. Thumb on the right ALT key
3. Middle finger on the CTRL
4. Ring finger on DEL

Wait a min.. that's the ring finger I've been using on DEL?? whoa.. I just noticed... I guess it is bit weird.


A bit? It's like..... TEH weirdest.
My favorites:

Left hand:
Pinky on RIGHT-ALT
Thumb on RIGHT-CTRL
Index on DEL

or

Right hand:
Index on RIGHT-ALT
Thumb on RIGHT-CTRL
Pinky on DEL
you are even weirder ;)
:D

Generally, One hand, right side, but Ctrl-Alt-Del... finger hits ctrl first. I started out in the XT days and there was no 3finger salute back then. After a while working in a pc shop one of the guys asked why I Always used both hands and up until then I never realized the other alt-ctrl keys on the rigth side! D'oh!

For some reason, when I'm in NT and want to bring up the task manager, I usually 2hand it with ctrl-alt left side, I dunno why I do that. Old habbit I guess. But if a pc is locked I use right hand / 3finger...

I almost always say it ctrl-alt-del. Alt-ctrl-del just sounds wrong, but, it's in ABC order so I don't know why I feel that way.
