I am looking for a way to disable the windows ct

[Dan Huynh]

rl-alt-del function in a LabVIEW 6.0 VI. I also need to disable the bottom task bar including the Start key in Windows NT 4.0. My goal is to keep the VI exclusively on the screen and disable the users from switching to other programs or shut off the PC.

But control-alt-delete in NT4.0 is a kernel level security feature that can't be
defeated unless you hide the keyboard. By using registry settings you can
control what is presented to the user after he hits control-alt-delete and keep
him/her from shutting down, but you will also have to lock up the computer to keep
your users from hitting the reset button and hide the mouse.

If you want to boot up an NT environment without a keyboard and mouse
you will need to go to NT Embedded. NTE allows you to build a custom
OS that does not require keyboard or mouse to boot. You can also install
just the components you need, ie; no browser, menus, control panel, etc.

In my application, which is a Labview runtime executable, I create another account on NT for the operators. I then set up a policy on this account using poledit.exe. In this policy I replace the default windows shell (explorer.exe) with my Labview executable. When the operator logs on, the only thing on his screen is the Labview application. No desktop, no taskbar, no start button. I can't remember exactly, but I believe the only option when pressing ctrl-alt-del is to log on as a different user. Good luck.

This will work for me except I can't seem to find this poledit.exe you mentioned. Could you please elaborate on this?

Dan.

Poledit is Microsoft's Policy Editor application. I believe it is part of the NT SP5 upgrade. Do a search on your pc to see if it is installed. If not, you may be able to get it from the NT cd or from Microsoft's web site. There is also a lot of information on MS web site for using policies. Hope that helps!
