I was trying to placate "aponcealbuerne"'s question
for y I need to stop CTRL+ALT+DEL
I don't think I need to explain anymore then I would like to stop the user from getting a response from CTRL+ALT+DEL
in win XP AND VISTA
locking down the task manager is not enough I need to stop the key from doing anything

so far the only help is "make a gina.dll"
I have no clue what that is or if it is the best way
