Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates admits that old Windows The decision to require users to press the control-alter-delete key when logging in to the computer was incorrect. Bill Gates at a fundraising campaign at Harvard University That said.

The control-alter-delete key combination was originally designed as a PC reboot command. To this day Windows 7 The command has also been used for various purposes in the operating system. In the new Windows OS this command basically helps to get Task Manager launched and PC lock / logout etc. options quickly.

However, Bill Gates was not in favor of giving this command to the keyboard using both hands. But Microsoft Added the command as a kind of compulsion. Mr Gates blamed IBM for that.

This keyboard shortcut was invented by IBM engineer David Bradley. Although the Control-Alter-Escape (Esc) key command was initially selected, Mr. David thinks that since the three buttons are on the left side of the keyboard, one can inadvertently press and reverse the command. And that is why DEL (Delete) button is given instead of ESC button.

David Bradley says he discovered the key combination but Bill Gates made it well known.

However, instead of these three buttons, Bill Gates would have preferred to do all these things with a single button. Although many people think that it is safe to give control + alter + delete commands because it takes two hands.
