i don't know whether there is a software or a mathod for this on windows but you can certainly make a program for this easily in vc++ you just have to call SetWindowsHookEx API for keyboard and specify a pointer to your handler function when you set a windows hook and specify a pointer to a function all key pressed are processed by your function first then anather API is called CallNextHookEx()to allow other applications to process keystrokes if you don't call this API then no other Window will be able to process that input(this is the mathod used for locking keyboard in vc++ based trojans).
so what you have to do is simple .
int main()
{
......
.....
......
......
SetWindowsHookEx(....,lpFunc,....);
.....
.....
.....
}
void lpFunc(i don't remember parameters necesarry for this function PM me if you want more help)
{
//here process keystrokes pressed;
if(keystroke=alt+ctrl+del)
{
//don't call CallNextHookEx(.........);
do nothing;
}
else
CallNextHookEx(......so that other applications can process keystroke if it is not alt+ctrl+del);
}
i would suggest you to try making your own program because hook programming is challenging also you will learn mathods used by softwares like keylogger to process keystrokes.

Here's one program for all windows costs about $13.00, might be some free ones out there as well.
OS: Win 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP
All-Secure Computer Locking Software
Hiding the entire screen leaving the computer safely locked. Disabling cd autorun feature. Built in database so you can choose your own password. Disabling control, alt, delete, and escape buttons. Disabling the taskmanager. Stopping the user from entering safemode.
OS: Win 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP

Didn't say why you wanted it, but there may be alternatives other than disabling ctrl+alt+del . How familiar are you with your registry?

There is a registry hack to enable or disable Windows NT TaskManager. The same registry hack applies to Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1=Enablethis key, that is DISABLE TaskManager
Value: 0=Disablethis key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager

I would bet it works the same for other versions also. Do a registry search for disabletaskmgr, and see what you come up with.

Come on peoples! Do you know local policy option?
Groovius gave you a good option if you know how to hack your registry! It'll work for XP Home. For XP Pro, you can go in Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy, Local Policies, Security Option and Disable "Disable CTRL-ALT-DEL Requirements for Login to Disabled"
This should work for W2K but I'm not sure. Will not work in 98.

Sure, that's the cat's meow for XP, but silvercloud didn’t post which OS and his/her profile didn’t list it either. Since he/she didn’t appear to know much about disabling “control- alt-delete” …also I would have posted this if I thought the person wouldn’t have destroyed their registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000001
these two will disable control alt delete
to re-enable it you will need these keys:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000
"**del.DisableTaskMgr"=" "
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DisableCAD"=dword:00000000

Sure, but if I would have posted info on it, then nobody else would have had anything to add to the thread.
EDIT: Of course, that's never stopped people before.

thanks to all .
about changing those values in registry i have to say i don't have ' disable taskmgr' in system
under policies!!!
why?
i guess all you mention is for disabling this combination for chaning the way of loging on to system,but i want the way that disable this keys in order to not be able to kill process.
i 'll like to know how can i do it?
i haven't still try those using APIs.i might be my need.
hey nihil you have nice teeth.
