I've been unable to verify that this works or find the correct API call to raise a key. Anyone have any comments?
There are approximately three functions in Win32 making it possible to interfere with keyboard input: keybd_event, SendInput, and SetKeyboardState. I recall I was playing with them a very long time ago and, indeed, I was able to do strange things with modifiers (Shift et al.) but I do not recall whether it was possible to inhibit Ctrl+Alt+Del. -- Pavel Kankovsky aka Peak / Jeremiah 9:21 \ "For death is come up into our MS Windows(tm)..." \ 21th century edition / _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
