WinNT -> XP all install a CTRL+ALT+DELETE handler as part of the OS when they start up (so does Linux, by the way.) I'm not sure you can bypass it - perhaps, and that's a big perhaps, in your application, but not for the whole system. I've never tried;P If all you want to do is bypass the login: HOW TO: Enable or Disable the CTRL+ALT+DELETE Sequence for Logging On in Windows XP[^]

Snap off the key caps. Seriously, I don't know that you can. I need it so often to save users from themselves I wouldn't want to do without it. I'd check into Group Policies as a first option. If you're trying to prevent users from rebooting, I know you can take that right away from them selectively, too. By the way, how did your previous post work out?

Because all the remote connection software I have ever used has had it's own special key combination to mimick a ctrl-alt-delete on the end computer. i.e. None of them could override the local computers ctrl-alt-delete catch. There may be a way, but even if there is, probably not a good idea to do so. We need all the default, guarateed escape routes we can get :)
