Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander 2.5
Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander* (CAD Commander) 2.x takes control of the boot services of an OS/2 Warp** system. It prevents accidental rebooting of OS/2 from within any type of OS/2, DOS, or Windows*** session.
In addition, it also allows "rebooting" of the Workplace Shell** without stopping any running applications. Finally, it gives complete command over all application's status (including their priorities), and allows selective shutdown of errant applications which cannot normally be shutdown via OS/2's Ctrl-ESC key sequence.
The retail version 2.0 introduces several new features including a handy and fully configurable system status line on your WPS desktop (showing CPU usage, Swapper space used, time, date, etc.), virtual desktops and new tasklist.

Version 2.5 introduces new features and enhancements from version 2.0.
