I appreciate your response, but I don't think you're totally
familiar with what I'm referring to.  I visit many computers in
my line of work, some of which are Integtra's, Compaq's, American
Computer, a lot of clone mfg's  etc.  I'm referring to a general
phenomena that I notice mostly on AT type computers that many of
them respond to Ctrl+alt+del, mainly with Win95 or later (not Win
3.1) running with a shutdown immediately.   <Blip>  whatever
programs are open, unsaved files...etc you had open is gone with
shutdown upon one depression of those series of keys.
