Dos Box Tweaks Required

[djnick]

Hi.. I wonder if you can help me... i require tweak which can either disable or not respond to certain function of a windows dos box.

The problem is the place where I work has a old Clipper database and any station that abnormally terminates for the software corrupt the data.. The database is being re written but in the mean time i am upgrading the hardware and software, with users so used to closing down for the close box of the title bar of windows... it causing me loads of work..

any suggestion welcomed wether it is a alternate shell interpreter, reg hacks, or 3rd party software

many thanks for any one who replies and has taken the time to read this

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you
that is a college question and i am only in 4th grade ....Figuratively speaking
if you don't find an answer here try posting at
www.helponthe.net
People who read may answer your question, but more often it's the resident techies
who run the site that answer the questions.

No disrespect intented to regedit.com there is a vast knowledge base here but it is better to have more than one source for info.

Hope you find the answer soon. Your question seems to be job related
many questions I've seen are 'play' related
