hey how you doin''''?
I could be wrong but I wouldn''t have thought it would be possible to disable CTRL+ALT+DEL under an NT based operating system.
I thought the operating system intercepted the CTRL+ALT+DEL key sequence, to make sure that people can''t just write programs that look like the login box for the purpose of stealing passwords.
Why would you want to disable it anyway?

I could be wrong here, and I''m sure someone more knowledgable will correct me, but I think you''d need to write a service or driver for something like that (on an NT based OS anyway).
Why do you need another password protect? What''s the point?
NT (XP) already does that for you. It seems pointless. o_O
Log in to the computer as a "crippled" user who doesn''t have
administrative priviledge (so he can''t run task manager or
other fun things) with your program running.
The whole idea of disabling Ctrl-Alt-Del is just WRONG .

It''s true. Don''t disable Ctrl+Alt+Del, it''s there for a reason.

you could just remove it from the programs running list. then if someone does press it your program will not be listed.
maybe.
I think it can be done.

Removing CTL+ALT+DEL is very usefull... Say you are writing a program or shell for a company that lets users brows the web or play a game but not have any access to the rest of the computer. Like if I wanted to allow walk up visitors to browse my wesite from terminal. I would want to dissable CTL+ALT+DEL. That would be the first thing somone would try. And then maybe ALT+F4.
Anyway, my point is I have seen it done and Its a reasonable problem. I dont know how to do it myself, but keep looking...

Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction As Long, ByVal uParam As Long, lpvParam As Any, ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As LongPublic Sub DisableCRTL_ALT_DEL() Dim ret As Integer Dim pOld As Boolean ret = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, True, pOld, 0)End Sub This topic is closed to new replies.
