Ive been screwing with this for the past few days. I need to intercept Ctrl-alt-del to make it do what i wunt instead of the task menu. Ive tried setting a keyboard hook but it still doesnt stop the task menu from coming up. I tried hooking int 9 in a vxd. I tried everything i can think of. If anyone can do this or tell me how (only if you know that it works). Thanks a million in advance.

P.S. Its for a reverseme from http://reversemes.cjb.net

there's this api, where you can specify to set the "screensaver" "active" .. by doing so, ctrl-alt-del and the startmenu hotkeys and such don't work anymore .. .that'd be step 1

step 2 is hooking ctrl-alt-del keys as you did, and just proceed ... but the taskmanager won't popup

the api is called SystemParametersInfo and the flag you have to use is SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE

perhaps this will work .. it's not that i have tested it, the thing you want to do

Hi Crudd !

I got the reverseme, unpacked it and did a loader that intercepts the keys and do what the reverseme wants .

btw my email is snacker@brcrackers.org.
