Hi all,

Is it possible to disable ALT+TAB temperarily?
When a player is playing the game,
I want to disable ALT+TAB temperarily,
he/she could only exit with "quit" option in game.
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.
Sammy

StickyKeys doesn't currently work in win98, though. Just so that you know.

Since the whole point of the Windows use of ALT-TAB is to allow multitasking between different applications, why would you WANT to disable it? Isn't that rather like down-grading someone's machine to an older retro era where multitasking was not available?

When you alt+tab out of a fullscreen blitz app the program then freezes until you return to it.
Also on returning to the app the program may crash (varies with machine and can be random too or result in unstable running... strange graphics, etc).

yup. Or for security in my case to keep users from accessing my desktop (besides CTRL+ALT+DEL)
