Opening Task Manager quickly

Question

To open Task Manager, I press Ctrl+Alt+Del and then select Start Task Manager.

I would much prefer to have a shortcut on my desktop and avoid the Ctrl+Alt+Del. How can I do that?

No need for a desktop shortcut:

Press Ctrl-Shift-Escape to open Task Manager.
You can also right-click the task bar and select Task Manager (or Start Task Manager) there.

	Good answer, but it would ne nice to have a short cut which you could display a specific tab. – dublintech Jan 31 at 22:56
	@dublintech you can always just minimise the task manager to the tray instead of closing it when you need it more often. – Daniel Beck Feb 1 at 8:25
