Hiya,

I’m trying to develop an emulation of some software which has a facility that is initiated upon pressing the key combination of ctrl+alt+del.

Is there any way to override the normal system actions that start up the task panel etc, so that I can fully emulate the alternative actions of the software in question?

Cheers,  
BB
