I assume these are security policy requests ...

These apply only to Win2k and WinXP.

And they work!

Q. How do I enable/disable Alt+Tab?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
REG_SZ VALUE Coolswitch
Set value to 0 to Disable
Set value to 1 to Enable

Q. How do I enable/disable Ctrl+Shift+ESC and Ctrl+Alt+Del to start Task Manager?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System
Create REG_DWORD VALUE NAME = "DisableTaskMgr"
Set value to 1 to enable DisableTaskMgr
Set value to 0 or delete Value to disable DisableTaskMgr

Prevents users from starting Task Manager (Taskmgr.exe).

Note: If this setting is enabled and users try to start Task Manager, a message appears explaining that a policy prevents the action. Don't know how to get rid of the message (maybe resHacker).

Ctrl+ESC used to bring up taskmanager but now opens the start menu. I don't know how to disable that. I don't see a security point in doing that anyway since the Start Button is only a click away. If there is a specific thing on the start menu you want to stop users from doing ask.

The two rules for success:
1. Never tell them everything you know.

Then I will ask you one thing, can we, with windows 2000 pro, hide the taskbar. So there's no way a user can open any application or Change user??

For the disable Alt+Tab hack to work You MUST RESTART the computer. I left that out of the instructions, sorry.
