Ctrl-Alt-Delete Emulation Example

FOLDER: CTALTDEL

TYPE: Utility / Stand-alone Executable with Source

SOURCE: INCLUDED

LANGUAGE: C

IDE: Microsoft Visual C++ 6

This is a utility that contains 2 modes of operation based on the windows platform that executes it. In Windows 95/98/Me, the utility will restart the system. In Windows NT/2000/XP, if the IMGLOGON.DLL is present & in use, will popup the security dialog that allows the user to lock the workstation, logoff, run the task manager, etc. The source code is included, along with project information for MS VC++ Version 6. The example includes the source code to generate a "soft" SAS (Secure Attention Sequence) to allow access to system maintenance functions.

The default action in 95/98/Me is to restart the system, but this could be modified to bring up the Task Manager (TASKMAN.EXE). The "Close Program" dialog that appears in 95/98/Me is tied to the physical interrupt created by using the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination on the physical keyboard.
