Disabling Task Keys for NT ?

[ramindu]

U no the 'Disabling the Task Keys' coding on the first page...... I wanted to do this for NT 4.0...

Well I'v posted this in 'General forum' & Lord Orwell ( a Hyperactive Member :-) told me that its not working for NT & he suggested that :

"if you were able to figure out how keyboard codepages were made, you could create one without function keys or a tab "

Any body with any Ideas on this or the original Question..? please

Thanks

You can disable Ctrl-Alt-Del on NT and 2K but this is very risky. It can prevent you from ever being able to log on again!

Be sure to enable Automatic Logon by specifying DefaultDomainName, DefaultUserName, DefaultPassword and AutoAdminLogin in the registry under Windows Login. Otherwise you will not be able to logon again. See Knowledge Base article Q114615 for details - there is a link on my links page. You may also want to read my disclaimer page.

After you set up automatic logon the logon dialog no longer appears at startup. You are then unable to logon as a different user until the automatic logon and below code is disabled in the registry. You may be able to temporarily bypass the automatic logon by holding down the Shift key as windows is starting

If you use this code, please mention "www.TheScarms.com"

Unfortunately this will only take effect after rebooting ...
Note that this will be take effect Systemwide NOT only for Runtime!
