Ctrl + Esc

CTRL + ESC isn't task switching, ALT + Tab is. Either way you can't disable
this. Why would you want to?

i have a gaming cafe and i have installed a custome made
soft ware to manage my cafe we were able to kill windows
logo key on keyboard from callind start menu but people
can call start menu by pressing ctrl + esc

our software runs a flash movie full screen and when u
click on it it ask for username and password which i
generate randomeley from the server and then people have
the full windows rights but few limitations and they can
play games

now what happens is if u dont put the password thing and
click ctrl + esc it brings start menu and then hides it
in 2 or 3 sec but i need to kill it for good

i was using cybercafe pro 3.8 to manage my cafe before
but now that i have my custome software i had to remove
it. in cybercafe pro u could not open any thing not even
start menu by pressing ctrl + esc that means it is
posiable to kill that command pklz help me with that i
any one can thanks

Sorry, your OP wasn't clear. I didn't know that you meant disable the key
while your custom software was running from within your custom software. I
thought you meant just disable the key in general for normal Windows
operation.

Use something other as explorer as the shell if you don't want it's features (Taskbar, Desktop with icons, Start Menu). Use your game or cmd.

Make sure no programs are running. Before starting your application, open
Task Manager, click on Processes, then find Explorer and highlight it and
click End Process. This should remove the task bar and desktop icons from
the desktop and prevent users from accessing the Start Menu in any way.

(To get it back later, press Cntl-Alt-Del and choose File, New Task, and
type Explorer.)

Now, click File, New Task (Run)..., and browse to your application and
execute it.

I meant to say "(To get it back later, press Cntl-Alt-Del <and click on Task
Manager> ..."
