I'm building a VB app that will spend a lot of time minimized on the task bar. I want that app to run some code when the pc user does "ctrl+alt+del" in windows (lock or shut down pc)

How can I capture the Windows "ctrl+alt+del" event in my app even though the application does not have the focus (minimized on task bar) ?

Hi Ketch, I've been wondering the same thing. I'm sure it's possible. I'll look around and see what I can find. It may take me a couple of days to get back to you though. If you find anything, please post it! :)
