Hello,
Thanks for your post. As I understand, you want to trap and disable
Ctrl-Alt-Delete programmaticall y in Win2K. Please correct me if there is
any misunderstandin g. I reviewed your description carefully, and now I'd
like to share the following information with you:
1. As documented in the article to which you pointed, you can use
DisableTaskMgr to disable Ctrl+Alt+Del. To trap Ctrl+Alt+Del, you have
three options: write a GINA stub, write a keyboard driver, or replace
TaskMgr.exe with your own program. I recommend you create a GINA stub which
is comparatively easy to implement among these three options.
2. However, we have to use VC instead of VB to implement a GINA Stub. As
you know, a GINA Stub is a native dynamic-link library (DLL) exported to
Winlogon that requires a valid, consistent function to call into. This
requires a DLL export, which .NET Framework does not support. Managed code
(VB .NET, C#) has no concept of a consistent value for a function pointer
because these function pointers are proxies that are built dynamically.
3. There is an existing GINA Stub sample in MSDN. To trap/disable
Ctrl-Alt-Delete, you just need to replace its WlxLoggedOnSAS with the one
in my code snippet below.
GinaStub Sample: Pass-through "Stub" Gina

/*----------------------------code snippet----------------------*/
int
WINAPI
WlxLoggedOnSAS(
PVOID pWlxContext,
DWORD dwSasType,
PVOID pReserved)
{
if (dwSasType == WLX_SAS_TYPE_CT RL_ALT_DEL)
{
/* Add additional code of you own */
return WLX_SAS_ACTION_ NONE;
}
else
return GWlxLoggedOnSAS ( pWlxContext, dwSasType, pReserved );
}
/*-----------------------------end of--------------------------------*/
In addition, I believe the following MSDN aritcles are helpful:
WlxLoggedOnSAS

curity/wlxloggedonsas. asp
Loading and Running a GINA DLL

Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.
Have a nice day!

This article seems to give a good overview if I knew C better:

Here is a Microsoft article that tells me about a Platform SDC with the C
code that I need, but I was hoping for a VB port someplace. C is pretty
weak for me.

In some environments, the PC's need to be locked down tighter than normal. Hence I need to disable this screen under certain conditions.
