CTRL + ALT + DEL How to Disable It and Enable

[SidharthGore]

I have got an issue which is not similar like others because everyone wants to enable the CTRL + ALT + DEL, but I want to disable it completely. Does anyone know how that can be done? I also want to disable the Start Menu since I want a kiosk type of system, therefore I want to disable these two controls for a while incase if I give the system to others. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You can use the Group Policy editor (Gpedit.msc) under the following location to configure Start menu features:
User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and Taskbar

and then can disable the Start Menu and also the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu. For more information go to this website - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292504

Thats interesting to say the least..

I have been wondering for awhile now if there is a way to re-point CTRL-ALT-DEL so it opens TASK MANAGER i have in 'My Briefcase'

In other words,i wanna be able to press CTRL-ALT-DEL and have it open Task Manager instead of that "Close Program" box....


Just something interesting i was thinking about.....

You can try to follow the below suggestions to rectify the issue of opening task manager from ctrl+alt+del:

Click Start
Click Run
Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK
In the Group Policy settings window
Select User Configuration
Select Administrative Templates

Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options
Select Enable Task Manager

Hi dude,

You can check the below script that works to change your settings so they will enable the task manager, just try to save it as anythingyouwant.vbs :

copy and paste this to notepad:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
With WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
On Error Resume Next
.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\DisableCMD"
.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr"
.RegDelete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\DisableTaskMgr"
End With
