I think I recall reading in the Windows 2000 Online Help about the
Ctrl-Alt-Del combination being recognised only by Windows. Which is why
WinNT/2K workstations ask users to press that combo before showing the log
on dialog box. I think it has something to do with preventing keytrapper
programs from being activated before the user authentication, thus ensuring
password security.

That won't work -- by the time you've detected that sequence in Director
you're on the way to force quit. You need to block it before it gets
there.

If there isn't a native function in BAPI to trap the sequence you'll
have to use an Xtra (assuming there is one) or some kind of third-party
utility that locks out the sequence on the Windows system level.
