How do I prevent a user closing the command window while a script is running?
I have a powershell script that runs as part of an unattended Vista build. It has a pretty long execution time. Getting build engineers to understand that the powershell window should not be closed halfway through script execution as the build has not "hung" can be tiresome. I am currently rectifying this problem by outputting progress to an IE window, displaying progress updates etc. but am wondering if there is a simple way when executing a script of preventing a user from closing the window? (Like turn the 'x' button of the window title bar grey color?)
Thanks.
Thanks.

In case you're still looking for something, I could offer an AutoIT script (http://www.autoitscript.com/) that can be compiled to an exe, which will run the program of your choice and disable its Close system menu (though Alt-F4 and the task manager will still work).
