Dan,

your answer seems to be "Win95 or later".
I assume you mean Windows 95, 98 and ME?
Windows NT and 2000 are of a different breed; cntl-alt-del is a very hard
system request signal from the user to the OS, invoking things like login
and logout (and task mgr).

By "AT type computers", do you mean the form factor (older style) of
motherboards? (Remember there was something called IBM PC/AT, usually called
just "AT" ...)
