Is there any way to intercept an image and be able to stop it. I am writing a security application and I am using the registry to stop applications running. By adding a gate in the HKCR\exefile\shell\run\command key I have successfully been able to block applications but the main problem is when an application is not loaded using the ShellExecute API i.e. it is loaded using the Shell("") command in VB instead. Do you have any ideas? Or are you going to tell me it can't be done based from your own knowledge? TTFN! :D
