Ctrl+Shift+ESC opens the Task Manager directly. It saves you whole seconds!

Edit: task manager obviously, not team manager.

CTRL+ALT+DEL sends a system interrupt which often breaks stuck programs back open.

This is the way. I haven't used Ctrl+Alt+Del to open Task Manager since the Windows XP days. The only time Ctrl+Alt+Del is still useful is when you want to interrupt a fullscreen app that is misbehaving and won't give you the desktop back.

Yes but when the computer is actually frozen that won't work and Ctrl alt del forces it out of explorer.
