Can Ctrl-Alt-Delete being caught and handled?

[Jim Bassett]

Is it possible to catch the combined key presses of Ctrl-Alt-Delete so that event can be handled?

Here is some reading http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/...Task-List-on-W

There are quite a lot of threads regarding this issue. Why you maybe should rethink that strategy, alternative solutions and so on. One of them http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...c-005ed8c1869f

Thank you! Without going into deatils I want to use this on an internal Kiosk to trap Ctrl-Alt-Delete and shutdown the machine rather than let anyone have access. Starup always logs in a limited user and starts an application.

Thanks. I tried Jared Heinrichs instructions and like many others it just caused problems

Isn't there a way it can be disabled under user permissions of the OS?

Edit: I should say isn't there a way to disable taskmanager for the given account or group so as to render the CAD useless.

[Jim Bassett]

None that I can find.

I edited my previous post. I was really referring to the the key sequence popping up task manager which you should be able to disable. The only other thing the key sequence would normally do is restart the machine which is a wanted behaviour I take it so that may be the answer.

Most KIOSK's can use REMOTE DESKTOP to log into a SERVER. They see only ONE app, and their only action available is to go back to the WELCOME (login) screen
