During the game if a player pressed the guide button (center button that has the green 'X' on it) on the 360 controller it minimizes the windows. Is there a way to trap that input to keep Windows from getting it?

What exactly do you mean "it minimizes the windows"?

I'm not aware of any way of overriding it. Is it really that big of an issue?

It is supposed to be a game for kids, if they accidentally bump the button they might not know what happened, or get frustrated.

You do have a good point though, I may have to do some testing to see how often kids actually bump the button.
