Yes it can be done using the low level Windows API calls. You could do that from Python using ctypes. But you really shouldn't! It's very easy to lock up a PC completely if you do that and many users get very cross whem they run a program which completely locks their machine and prevents them using it for other things. After all they paid for a multi-tasking OS why should applications prevent them from using it?! >From a video playing perspective consider too how you might get rid of a warning dialog that Windows (or your anti-virus scanner etc) decides to pop onto the screen while watching the video? You are stuck with a dialog blocking the view which you can't get rid of till the video ends!
