hi

I want to disable the action of ctrl + alt + del ??

I don't whether it is still possible to do from within a VB6 application, back in the days of W95/98 it was possible.
Nowadays Windows has an option for this called Kiosk mode:

not sure either. never tried it since I dont want to hinder the user to do that. I mean, why you want to stop the user from that?

SetWindowsHookEx can be used to subclass the keyboard. I would look there.

This stuff (even if you figure out an API way) probably isn't going to work unless you've got Windows Pro and you've got local admin rights. And, if you've got that stuff, why not just use the Policy Editor.

Personally, I think it's a horrible idea to disable the three-finger-salute. However, in a kiosk situation, I get it. However, again, in that situation, you should have admin rights, so just do it manually.

Otherwise, are we talking about something nefarious? Lock up a computer for ransom?

exactly.
I disable alt+tab and alt/ctrl+esc when in fullscreen-mode. this because I change resolution. so not a good idea for the user to switch to desktop while running in lower resolutions.
but they can still ctrl+alt+del if they want/need. that should never be disabled.
if I have a program that would disallow me to use that I would change program.

Thanks everyone for the help services, but I'm still looking for the right code to do this

What kind of tool are you making?
Did you read the links about kiosk mode in Windows?
