    I've seen this lots of times on many sites. Does anyone know how to trap CAD in NT/2000?

    Here is a work around to ctrl-alt-delete if your goal is only to prevent the user from using task manager.  If you put this in a timer with a Interval of 1 then the instant task mangager comes up an alt f4 is sent closing it.


    Code:

    On Error GoTo exitsub
    AppActivate "Windows Task Manager"
    thesendkeys = "%{F4}"
    SendKeys (thesendkeys)
    Exit Sub
    exitsub:
    Exit Sub

    I just thought of this a while ago. This works by making the OS think a screen saver is running... So what happens if the user manually runs one and closes it? The OS will re-enable the keys!

    There is a system registery key that controls the task manager. If you set its value to 1, the task manager is disabled!The code for that would be:


    Dim Path As String


           Path = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\"
           Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(Path, True).SetValue("DisableTaskMgr", 1)


    If you use the same code again and change the registery value to 0, the task manager will be enabled again!

    Hi!

    This code for disabling the Ctrl+Alt+Delete functionality is not running on Windows XP.

    Could you suggest something for Windows XP?

     

    Thanks.
