disable ctrl alt del

[Hobeau]

Hey guys, I was wondering if theres a way to disable the ctrl alt del keys. I'm working on a security program that requires a password and its obviously not secure if you can just shut it down with task manager. Can anyone help?

As far as I know, there isn't. But you should be able to have your other modules validate that a user is logged in. That way, even if the log-in is circumvented, the app will not work.

To do this you would use the Windows DDK (Device driver Development Kit) and your C compiler to write a MSGINA.DLL, which would be called during an attempt to invoke the SAS (secure attention sequence, also known as Ctrl+Alt+Del).

Developing such a DLL is very difficult, because if you make any mistakes you end up with an unbootable PC.

I would do a Google and see if someone is selling the source code to one that you could adapt for your needs.
