Hi Bill,

Thank you for using Microsoft Visual C++ Newsgroup. My name is Lion Shi.

You can trap the mouse event by using a hook. If you determine user click
Start Up button then ignore it. Also, you should trap the keyboard event
and shield the Win key and Ctrl + Esc. However, Ctrl + Alt + Delete has
very high priority. It can’t be disabled with a hook.

If you want to do this you must create your own GINA and replace the one
provided by the system. 18 standard functions such as WlxNegotiate ,
WlxInitialize and WlxLoggedOnSAS must be exported to interact with
winlogon.exe. Then put your GINA dll(says MyGina.dll) into the path
Winnt\system32 and modify the registry as follows:

Key Name: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon

Value Name: GinaDLL

Value Type: [REG_SZ]

Value: MyGina.dll

It will be available when you restart the machine. For more information
about GINA dll please see:
