    Resolved Disable Windows Key [Resolved]

    I made an app that allows me not to logoff my WinXP computer at work. The Form is always on top and it asks for a password to access Windows. It just saves keep logging off and on evertime I leave the computer.

    My problem is while the app is running if you press the Windows key the Start menu pops up. All other keys are disabled Ctrl+Esc, Ctrl+Tab etc. I've even sorted out Taskmanger so it can't be end tasked. I think the Keyascii is 91 for this key.

    The app works perfect with Win98 but with WinXP the Windows key is still active.

    Thanks.

    I've been programming with VB for 25 years. Started with VB4 16bit Pro, VB5 Pro, VB6 Pro/Enterprise and now VB3 Pro. But I'm no expert, I'm still learning.
