    Question Disable Cntrl+Alt+Del

    Hello there! I am wondering how to disable the Control+alt+delete key sequence. The application is a simple sample to ask the user if he/she wants the PC restarted after the control+alt+del keys have been pressed. How am I to stop this?

    I should've said I needed DOS or OS-less samples. That document contained just Windows. Thank you for your help any ways.



    Does anyone know how to do this in DOS?

    But I thought that with computers, there's always a way.

    Can't you just intercept the key sequence? If so, how?

    It's hard

    You have to override the keyboard handler interrupt.
    I had some quickbasic code that did that, long long ago
