Ctrl+Alt+Del is a SAS and cannot be disabled without writing a GINA DLL (in
C++).

And, if you did write a GINA to disable the SAS (Secure Attention Sequence)
you wouldn't get any corporate's to install it. Disabling CTRL-ALT-DEL
violates most companies Information Protection policies...

Don't know if it still works, but I had rename
taskman.exe to something else and taskmanager could not
load anymore. That was tested on Win98...

Hello,

Actually I just tested it on XP and the system has
recopied the taskman.exe back into the Windows Directory,
so i guess the system integrity is harder to screw than
before. But i also suppose that if you look everywhere
for that file (taskman.exe and/or taskmgr.exe) and rename
them all it should do the trick.

AFAIK it's possible to disable the taskmanager by setting an option or
registry key, but this requires a restart and doesn't allow you to get
notified if Ctrl+Alt+Del is pressed.
