Disable Task Manager

Wed, 2007-02-07 14:53 - Topics:

Hi,

I have written an application that child-proofs an XP computer. One of the many things it does is to disable the Task Manager.

To do this in XP, I make two registry changes (Which I change back when the app is exited)...

CODE
'//Change the LogonType for windows to the Welcome Screen (this helps block the Ctrl-Alt-Del)
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon", "logonType", 1)
CODE
'//Disasble Task Manager

Microsoft Vista is illegal under EU rules: Rivals

BRUSSELS - A coalition of rivals charged on Friday that Microsoft Corp.'s new Vista operating system coming out next week will perpetuate practices found illegal in the European Union nearly three years ago.

The group, which includes IBM, Nokia, Sun Microsystems, Adobe, Oracle and Red Hat, said its complaints made last year are yet to be addressed just days before Vista is due for release.

The European Commission found in 2004 that Microsoft used its dominance to muscle out RealNetworks and other makers of audio and video streaming software and that it made its desktop Windows deliberately incompatible with rivals' server software.
