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:Quote:

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"
