I believe ctrl+alt+del is impossible to recreate with software because that key combination is picked up by the hardware which triggers an interrupt which tells windows to do whatever. Windows doesn't actually see this combination, just the interrupt sent by the hardware. I've never been able to find a way to recreate this interrupt, but I never looked that hard either. If you just want the Task Manager that comes up when you hit ctrl+alt+del, you can use that autohotkey program referenced above to open "taskmgr.exe". That will give you the Task Manager.
