Enable task manager(ctrl+alt+del):
First Method:
Click Start -> Run. Type in this command:
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0

Then it will come up with this question: Value DisableTaskMgr exists, overwrite (Y/N)?

Press CTRL, AIT, DEL
got to task manager, and then processes. after that, end explorer.exe. now it keeps the background and you have to do everything from the task manager or CMD.

Ctrl + Alt + Delete ---> Task Manager
Open task manager select the task you want to end select "end process" close task manager
