What your looking for is right here[^] in the second question. Be warned, it is NOT written in VB. You can either set the registry key to disable C-A-D, but that will disable it for every user on the machine, or you can write a keyboard hook to trap the key sequence and eat it. I've done both, but I did mine in VC++ and did it in about 7 lines of code. VB will be considerably longer. RageInTheMachine9532

Bad idea Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

Hey Charlie, I just saw a way to enhance your code, forgive my presumptiousness! if (!(short)curlies)... Of course you could cast curlies to (long)curlies Just a thought ;-) Nursey
