Enable/Disable Ctrl+Alt+Del

This will disable Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.

Usage:

Python script

# import the class
from script import CtrlAltDel

# to disable Ctrl+Alt+Del
CtrlAltDel.disable()

# to enable Ctrl+Alt+Del
CtrlAltDel.enable()

Manual

If you don't want to run the script, you can merge the *.reg files manully.

• To disable, merge disable_Ctrl_Alt_Del.reg
• To enable, merge enable_Ctrl_Alt_Del.reg

How it works?

When you run CtrlAltDel.disable(), it will merge this to the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,4d,e0,1d,e0,4b,e0,1d,00,\
00,00,00,00

When you run CtrlAltDel.enable(), it will merge this to the registry to undo the changes:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=-
