You can disable the Alt-Tab key with Buddy, but you can't necessarily trap
it in Director (its an OS thing).
Regardless, you should avoid switching the monitor resolution every time
someone Alt-Tabs. It is just plain silly. Instead, you should ask the user
if they want to change the resolution before you do so. Then when they
quit, you can restore the original resolution.
