Hi

I have heard I can disable ctrl-alt-del using group policies, can someone
tell me how or point me to a web page that describes the process.

Thanks
J
 
Disabling Task Manager and CAD are two different things.

The User policy is under Administrative Templates/System/Ctrl+Alt+Del
Options/Remove Task Manager. The registry setting is under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, REG_DWORD
value DisableTaskMgr, data 1. You can create Computer-wide policies in HKLM
branch.
This prevents any user including Admin from running Task Manager but it
doesn't prevent anyone from killing the processes from the Command Prompt or
running 3-rd party managers like Process Explorer.
 
W2k policy template looks slightly different as Administrative
Templates\System\Logon/Logoff, Disable Task Manager.
