Hi Marty, The "ctrl ." is a short cut for the abort button. hide the Abort button under (in LV 6.1)
VI Properties>>>Windows Appearance>>>Customize>>>Show Abort Button This property can also be manipulated programaticaly in LV 6.1 using a property node configured for TB.ShowAbortBut This will allow you to allow this operation for privledged users. The same VI setting is available in LV 5.1 but I do not remeber if it could be manipulated programaticly.
