Windows 10: Disable <Shift><Ctrl><Windows><Alt> from opening the "Login to Office

Micro$oft has added a new "feature" to Windows 10: If you (accidentally) press <Shift><Ctrl><Windows><Alt>, your web browser will open the "Login to Office 365" webpage. This happens even if M$ Office is not installed.

If you have a cat that likes to jump on the table when you're not there to stop him, you can wake up each morning to find a half-dozen or so browser windows open to the "Login to Office 365" webpage.

The following registry tweak will stop this annoying behavior (just the computer's annoying behavior, not the cat's *Sad .)

Code:

You can also add this tweak with the following one-liner
Code:

which you can run from an elevated command prompt or batch file.

Addendum: Further research on this topic has uncovered another bit of M$ meddling. If you hold down the 4 aforementioned keys and press certain letters, an unwanted webpage will still open. I haven't found a tweak to disable this yet. Any suggestions? (Preferably something that can be done without any 3rd-party software.)

Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

On a domain you won't get Task Manager when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del. You get a crazy screen with a bunch of options.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc has always brought up just the Task Manager, even back to Windows XP days. You just weren't aware of it. *Wink

Go ahead, try it in Windows XP too.
