disabling/enabling ctrl+alt+del - urgent

[rammy]

hi,
I tried using the SystemParameterInfo API to disable ctrl+alt+del and the WIndows key.

The code i used was:

SystemParametersInfo(97, bDisabled, ByVal 0&, 0)

I also tried:

SystemParametersInfo(97, bDisabled, CStr(1), 0)

Where bDisabled was true for disabling and false for enabling.

The former caused the system to hang(I had to restart everytime) and the latter gave me an error saying that "VB has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down"

Can someone help me out here?

Im using vb6 with windows95.

Thanks in advance,
Ramya.

P.S. Is there any way this can be done with NT???

Are you sure you've declared it right

I've just found the tip and tried it on my machine(VB6,Win98) and it works fine, here's the code I used

Private Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib _
"user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction _
As Long, ByVal uParam As Long, ByVal lpvParam As Any, _
ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long

Sub DisableCtrlAltDelete(bDisabled As Boolean)
    Dim X As Long
    X = SystemParametersInfo(97, bDisabled, CStr(1), 0)
End Sub

Apparently, there's no way to do this on NT (none that we know anyway)
