Just curious...can you (in C++) program the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination to, say, pop-up a sign-in screen?

Nice way to steal users' passwords in NT...which is why I doubt it...but you never know...

>Ctrl+Alt+Del is at the bios level. It cna be disabled using external code written in C ro C++. However, I would suggest considering what your real goal is here. If it is to stop the suers for rebooting the computer during your application disabling Ctrl+Alt+del will NOT accomplish that goal. It will only push the suer to use the Reset button or the power button to do the same thing.
