You don't. This is all controlled using Group Policies. Get the Windows XP Resource kit and you'll find all this stuff documented. BTW, you can't disable Ctrl-Alt-Delete. You CAN, however, disable the stuff in the box that shows up. Again, all controlled through policies.

Well, so can i edit this policies -i mean in the group policy- through programming, i know that i can reach this stuff through MMC and then editing the policies throught the MMC wizards, but can i have my own wizards which do the same??? thanks for ur answer

You could, but why reinvent the wheel? The policies are mostly just registry entries and controlling security on those entries. The code to manipulate the registry and security is not that hard. The hard part, and very tedious, is figuring out what registry entries to change and what values to put into them. Again, all documented in the Windows XP Resource Kit.
