    Why would you want to do that? What happens if something crashes while your program is running? Are you going to force the user to power down?

    From just a little research I cam up with this. This thread has a few ways to not necissarily disable crt + alt + del but make it so it doesn't work.

    the app is suppose to deny access to the desktop hence the need to disable ctrl+alt+del

    User access rights are the perogative of the operating system (through setting group policy access) not the individual application.

    Glad someone is listening.

    That code I posted to disable Ctrl Alt Delete, could use a minor update.
    It is the only code that seems to work decently.
    I have found a few other suggestions, with a lot of searching.(Days)
    They either, flat out don't work, or require registry changes, that are not consistently in the same spot, from OS to OS. Requiring more code, and possible errors etc.

    I hope this resolves it for you.
