I don't know of a GUI way to do this, but you can easily change this in the Openbox configuration file for your user. From the terminal, or the Alt+F2 run dialog, type:

Code: Select all

leadpad ~/.config/openbox/mintlxde-rc.xml
Then search for the following piece of configuration:

Code: Select all

    <!-- Launch Task Manager with Ctrl+Alt+Del -->
    <keybind key="A-C-Delete">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>mint-lxde-logout</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
Then either change the <command>mint-lxde-logout</command> to a command you want to run, or if you want to disable this key combination, make it <command>false</command>. Then reboot, or logout and login again, and the changes should be effected.
