arfett Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Does anyone know how to disable the control+alt+delete functionality in windows? I'm trying to get it so you can only access task manager by hitting control+shift+escape.Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude111 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I have been wondering about a similar issue.....Im running Win98se and i would like CTRL-ALT-DEL to open task manager (Which i have in 'MY BRIEFCASE')Anyone know where that info is kept?? (The program that opens with you press CTRL-ALT-DEL ("Close Program")) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idontwantspam Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's simply not possible. At all. The Windows Security dialog is an integral part of the operating system's winlogon process, and you can't simply remove it. Is there anything wrong with accessing the task manager from the ctrl+alt+del screen?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheky Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) You can right click on any shortcut you make and specify a shortcut key. I have not found how you can overwrite system shortcut keys (like in xp ctrl+shift+esc opens taskmanager, regardless of what I have specified that is the only key combo that functions in that manner).i use ctrl+shift+D for auslogics disk defrag created in that manner.

jaclaz Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Actually it is possible.Just for the record :http://msdn.microsoft.com/it-it/magazine/c...951(en-us).aspxhttp://www.codeproject.com/KB/winsdk/AntonioWinLock.aspxhttp://69.10.233.10/KB/system/preventclose.aspxAnd (possibly ) the EASY way, instead of trapping anything, make the trap point to "nothing":http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/dis...spx?fid=1526462jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokain Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Here is two ways to do it in VB.Process.Start("C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe")Dim DTMGR As Integer = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Windows Task Manager")SetWindowPos(DTMGR, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &H80)Dim Pinfo As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe")Pinfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.HiddenSystem.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Pinfo)and to turn it offDim CTMGR As Integer = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Windows Task Manager")SendMessage(CTMGR, WM_CLOSE, 0&, 0&)A "work around", I know. But it does the job. Of course you have to Declare the windows API's first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
