Obviously, this is a windows-based question. I know that Ctrl-Alt-Del
is handled deep inside the OS, and I'm not trying to interrupt that.
But is there some way to detect that a C-A-D has been pressed?
Others have pointed out that this shouldn't really be possible for
reasons of security. (And

If you manage to write a program that can detect CTRL-ALT

The nearest equivalent in MacOSX is Command-Option-Escape, which
brings up the force-quit dialog. I don't know how deep down in

might one detect those t
