This is easy to do in VFP3 & Windows 3.11. In the SYSTEM.INI file:
SHELL=YOURAPP.EXE
TASKMAN.EXE=
(don't put anything here; this will disable the Task Manager)
But, as the other response indicates, it's a bit more complicated to do
in '95 and NT. Yes, '95 has a SHELL= line in the SYSTEM.INI, but when I
changed it nothing happened.
A word of advice: before you make any modifications to the registry,
either through the Policy Editor or through the Registry Editor, ensure
that you have a good backup of it.
