Who invented the CTRL + ALT + DEL key combination and its importance in windows.

A programmer who worked at IBM early in the year, David Bradley is now retired, and its heyday is accompanied by the advent of ibm pc.

At first, the key combination was not developed for end users. It was designed to help those who wrote the program at the time easily restart the computer. They did not need to press the power key (re-power-on may hurt electronic components ).

Today, the Windows operating system has assigned this key combination a very important mission to get a logon password. No program can block it or steal the password entered by the user.

When Windows is started, the system creates two desktops. One is to interact with the end user, and the other is to monitor the logon desktop by combining CTRL + ALT + DEL keys.

This is why the windows and icons on the desktop disappear when you press CTRL + ALT + DEL.

The operating system has special treatment for this key combination, so other programs cannot use this to impersonate Logon Windows or steal user passwords, because these are two different desktop environments.
