Do not Allow Closing of Winbatch via Ctl-Alt-Del

Keywords: 	 Ctl-Alt-Del  prevent close Winbatch service

Question:

(Ideal Solution)I am looking for a way to allow the user to continue to be able to use the Ctl-Alt-Del key sequence to close programs, but I do not want them to be able to close the winbatch program that is currently running.

(Fallback Solution) I am looking for a way to not allow the user to press Ctl-Alt-Del at all. Thanks.

Answer:

Not really possible. You can rename the window or the compiled exe file to make it harder to find or give it a scary name.
The best solution found thus far is to develop a reputation for slight mental instability and extreme physical violence whenever your scripts are subverted. Banging a battered baseball bat on a few desks helps. Management is often understanding in these cases.
Or maybe running it as a service could be an option? Make sure to not check the option when setting up the service, "Allow service to Interact with Desktop."
Note that when you set up a service, you see a "WBT-" box pop up when you are starting up Windows. To hide this so the user does not see it when starting Windows, try adding
```
	WinHide("")
```
to the top of the script.
With the 98B compiler is an option check box "Run Hidden" that should take care of the problem better.
