Thanks, but I know how to disable Cntrl+alt+del!

What I need is a way of DETECTING if the keys are pressed together, WHILE they are disabled! Understand?

Cheers :)

Sorry, I thought you wanted to detect when CTRL+DEL+ALT were pressed, so you could intercept and disable it.

You have to use system-wide SendKeys, otherwise known as some API function(s). Ask the API gurus here - they should be able to help.

I'm writing an app which disables Ctrl+Alt+Del. What I need is a way of detecting if the user presses these keys while they're disabled. Can anyone help?

Thanks :)

Thanks Chris :) Can anyone shed any light on the appropriate API's to use for detecting when the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys are pressed WHILE they are DISABLED? Any help appreciated. Cheers :)
