I hope I am asking this in a way that makes sense.

My nephew was here today and playing a game that uses full screen, but it does not have a "minimizing" option. Also, he says that it is a game that does not do well saved and then restored.

He had been playing for a long time and was nice enough to let his sister use the computer.

With Windows XP, he said all he had to do was hit ctrl alt del and it would minimize the game and bring up the task manager.

With windows 7 pro, this does not minimize the game window. He could not find anything that would. He had no choice but to end his game.

Do any of you familiar with Windows 7 know what I am talking about and know anything I can show him next time the situation comes up?

Thanks.
