go away you dang x

[timbudtwo]

help , i've just started visual basic 4.0. I wanted to know how I can make the x in the corner of the program to go away. I would also like to know how to disable ctrl+alt+delete.
if you reply, thanks.

the X is called the Control button, set the property to false, note you may have to change the form to fixed single or something
