But, because of some cases --e.g. viruses, or registry restriction-- my Task Manager cannot be accessed by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del.
Tips:
Type in Command Prompt or Run dialog : taskkill /im processsname.ext /f and press enter.
Replace processname.ext with the name of your program, it could be be firefox.exe for Firefox, or winword.exe for Microsoft word.

You can turn off the screensaver by right-clicking on a blank area of the desktop, going down to 'Properties', clicking the 'Screensaver' tab, and choosing 'None' from the 'Screensaver' drop-down box.
