If your Windows XP fails to run due to an error corresponding to lost HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other important system boot files you can repair this by using the XP installation CD. Just boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then run "attrib -H -R -S" on the C:\Boot.ini file and delete it. Launch "Bootcfg /Rebuild" and then Fixboot Regards, Carl Good Day

And as Verdican pointed out, it's especially conveninet for Vista users where 'CTRL ALT DEL' adds unnecessary step.

Might be odd at first, but when you click those buttons, you'll skip the screen where you choose if you want to lock your computer or use Task Manager. Other handy shortcuts I use: ALT-BACKSPACE: This is just like CTRL+Z. CTRL + Y: This will undo your last undo. Quite handy. SHIFT+F10: This'll open up a shortcut menu (the right click menu). CTRL+HOME: When you're typing, this will move the mouse cursor to the beginning CTRL+END: The opposite of CTRL+HOME In Vista, a better way to get into the Task Manager is to use ‘CTRL+SHIFT+ESC’.

I can do anything I need to (albeit a little more slowly, due to a lack of practice) with the keyboard as I can by using the mouse.
