What Keys to press to get Windows 7 Task Manager on MacBook Pro ?

Right click on the task bar and then left click on Task Manager.

You could also try

ctrl alt(option) fn delete

Press and hold the keys in that order.

Like the other responder said, it's fn + control + alt/option + delete.

Basically, Mac keyboards don't have a separate key for "delete", as opposed to "backspace", as they are called on Windows. The way Mac keyboards handle it is they do "backspace" (delete the character before the cursor) if you press the [delete] button, and they do "delete" (delete the character after the cursor) if you do fn+delete. So, in order to send ctrl + alt + delete to Windows, you also need to hold fn.

However, it's easier to get to the Task Manager by right-clicking the Taskbar.

Type Taskmanager in the start menu if the keys don't work.

I guess my simple question ws too simple. I want to do this using Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro,

not on the Apple side. Any Help??

I told you exactly how to do it in Windows. Did I need to say Windows taskbar instead of just taskbar?

The key that says "delete" on it is "backspace" to Windows. In order to make it "delete" to Windows, you have to hold "fn".

fn + ctrl + alt + delete

This will bring you to a screen where it has an option to go to the Task Manager. They changed it to that in Windows 7, instead of going directly to the Task Manager.

I run Windows with the Citrix client (web apps) and Control-Alt-Delete simply doesn't work. I'm already used to fn-Delete for the Delete key, so I naturally tried Control-Alt-fn-Delete, but it doesn't work. My guess is that fn with either Alt (Option) or Control is changing the meaning of one of those keys, so the Windows side isn't seeing Control-Alt-Delete. Fortunately, another keystroke does work to get to Task Manager directly:

Control-Shift-Escape

Aha, superfluous key press. You learn something everyday. One of them should be to read all the answers first 🙂
