I just wonder if there is any way to make TaskManager show up immediately when Ctrl+Alt+Del is pressed without step through the Log off menu?

Using non-RAID on purpose as I find RAID to be too temperamental.
Now set to AHCI
I just wonder if there is any way to make the TaskManager permanent for Ctrl_Alt_Del function.

Not sure about that but you can just make a desktop shortcut...

Right-click anywhere on your desktop, and point to New, then click Shortcut. In the wizard that appears, type taskmgr.exe. Click Next, and type the name you want for this shortcut. Click Finish, and you're done!
Bonus tip: If you want to have the Task Manager running minimized, but you don't want to have it on the taskbar, you can choose to keep it running in the system tray.
To do this, start Task Manager, click Options, and click on Hide when minimized to turn this feature on. Now you can minimize Task Manager without it being in your way, and you'll always see your CPU usage in the system tray!

Yes, that's another way of bypassing Vista/Windows 7 logon screen and it works in XP too.

In order to bypass that screen, you need to use CTRL+SHIFT+ESC which takes you right to it :)

I'm sorry but I just told you how to do that, CTRL+SHIFT+ESC will bring up Task Manager automatically. It's impossible to make anything else come up with CTRL+ALT+DEL, otherwise it would be an EXTREME security risk on your machine. CTRL+SHIFT+ESC does EXACTLY what you're looking for!
