BlockInput will block all but CTRL-ALT-DEL

maybe BlockInput()

edit: oops :)

This was just the function/method I was looking for. Now two things. Is the anyway to even catch that CTRL-ALT-DEL combination. What I basically want to to is to ensure that the kids that come into my computer center use their own username and password combinations to log onto windows. I they pass around there password I want to lock the keyboard and mouse on BOTH computers and throw up a rude dialog saying not to do that then shut both computers down and log it in a sqlite database.

I know that is a lot of stuff and its something that I am working on but the BlockInput() function seems to take care of at least one part.

Hotkeyset("Your key","Nothing")
Func Nothing()

Hi, your example will not work in this case, because you can not set hotkeys to Ctrl Alt Del...

From help file:

The following hotkeys cannot be set:

Ctrl+Alt+Delete It is reserved by Windows

My idea was set 1 of the key as hotkey in doing nothing so it won't count as pressed.

But guess it didn't work.

Ohh, I stand corrected then - I must have remembered incorrectly. I tried using it about 18 months ago to make a computer lockdown script (similar to <WIN><L>) and for some reason, I couldn't use blockinput. I do remember that it wasn't due to it not blocking <CTRL><ALT><DEL> though (I found another way around that). I think it may have had something to do with AutoIt not being able to simulate send certain keys once activated.

you can use block imput, if you put Ctrl + Alt as hotkeyset, and the function is block input, so every time tou try to send Ctrl Alt Delete, there will by no reaction, becouse after you press Ctrl and Alt the you all ready have a function, and the windows function will by canceled!!!!

You shouldn't apply compiled scripts.. Nobody wann run a file called script.exe from a person they doen't know.. Have the source uploaded, so we can see what we are running :)

Yes I know.

You can just add this piece of code as an addition, for cosmetic reasons, if the ultimate lock of your workstation is what you seek in this universe.

Cheers.

Thanks to all that added to this thread. I will try all these solutions. I run a community computer center for kids and adults and I need a way of blocking input to the workstations until software updates,anti virus scans and antispyware scans are completed.

This code will enable or disable Ctr+Alt+Del in Windows XP SP2

CODE

Case $msg = $startup

GUIDelete()

$message = " Ctrl+Alt+Del DISABLED"

DisplayMessage()

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\POLICIES\SYSTEM", "DisableTaskMgr", "REG_DWORD", "1")

ExitLoop

Case $msg = $ctrlaltdel

GUIDelete()

$message = " Ctrl+Alt+Del ENABLED"

DisplayMessage()

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\POLICIES\SYSTEM", "DisableTaskMgr", "REG_DWORD", "0")

ExitLoop

Cheers Ant..
