Is there a way to define a HotKey for Ctrl-Alt-Del?

Do you want to lock the box?

Afraid I don't understand "lock the box."

I find I often have to close non-responding programs (like that notorious troublemaker, lexpps ). Typing C-A-D over and over is a mild pain, for which a single hotkey would be welcome.

So you wanna use C-A-D to get the taskmanger to kill the process?
Why not call'm directly ?

Run Program>taskmgr

More sophisticated: kill the process bypassing the taskmgr using (pslist and) pskill from SysInternals [more ...]

Run Program>pskill ...

pskill [\\computer [-u username] [-p password]]

-u - Specifies optional user name for login to remote computer.

-p - Specifies optional password for user name. If you omit this you will be prompted to enter a hidden password.

process id - Specifies the process ID of the process you want to kill.

process name - Specifies the process name of the process or processes you want to kill.

Lumumba: I'm afraid you lost me. But thanks anyway for your interest.
(Not sure I made my query clear. I want a single hotkey that will act as Cntrl-Alt-Del just as I can define an MS hotkey for, say, Cntrl-X. ...wdc

Using a single word: kill (the non responding program) eg.

Run Program>pskill lexpps

Do you really mean "pskill"? What is "pskill?" I really am a Beginner.
