Is there a way to block
Alt + Ctrl + Del?
I do not need to get rid of Task Manager or it to be automatically closed - I just need that system wide keyboard shortcut to be [temporarily] prevented from doing anything
I have read many topics on various forums but the solutions do not work on Windows 10 and / or bluntly want to block input from keyboard entirely. Among them were those using AutoHotkey

I have read through them and links within them. From them those two REG hacks seemed promising
Code: Select all
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe]
"Debugger"="Hotkey Disabled"
Code: Select all
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,4d,e0,1d,e0,4b,e0,1d,00,\
00,00,00,00
but they just ended messing up other things after the reset of system, as
Control
key has stopped working entirely
So I am still where I was

Any other ideas / references from anyone?
I need to block this
Alt + Ctrl + Del
keyboard shortcut so that I will be sure my cat will not be able to operate my computer with hers butt when I leave the room. I have an
AHK script that blocks all input - except a turn off switch for it [in form of a doubled pressing of a mouse button] and except that system keyboard shortcut

After further research: it seems to be impossible; at least not with using just a script of any kind - i.e. there would have to be performed some high level work on the system [which would be against the caveat of using just a script on any system]
