Two quick Task Manager tips

I learned two little Windows Task Manager tricks recently: firstly, you can start a command prompt (cmd.exe) by clicking the File/Run menu command while you are pressing the Ctrl key. This omits the need to type in "cmd" to the Create New Task dialog box. This is very handy at times.

Secondly, I've noticed that you can also close the Task Manager window by pressing Ctrl+Break. Yes, this is not so useful, but an interesting find nonetheless. Seems like Task Manager has more features than it seems at first sight.

I've also spoken with SL from ITpro.fi about the ability to run command prompt by pressing Ctrl key, and his opinion is that this ability cannot be disabled with group policies. For example, one might have a software restriction policy where cmd.exe is blocked/disabled, but if you can run Task Manager, you can bypass this check. Seems like a hacking point to me.
