Hi,
Was wondering if anybody could tell me if it is possible to disable the
CTRL+ESC key, the one that brings up the Start menu in Windows 2000.

I have tried to do this by using SetWindowHookEx, to incept the keys.....
But without much success..

It works if you press the ESC key first then the Ctrl... But not the CTRL
and then ESC...

So I was wondering if there where any registry settings for disabling this
key combination..

Also need to disable the ALT+ESC and CTRL+ALT+DEL...

Any help welcome..

Thanks

Wayne.
