Disabling ALT+CTRL+Del keys

Hi Every body:
Can u please help me in disabling the end task for my swing application by disabling the ALT+CTRL+Del keys ..I'm not sure if that is possible in Java ...
Thanx in advance

Windows processes that key event before passing it to any programs including the JVM (which would pass other keys to your java program). I don't event think native programs can get these keystrokes unless they hook into the internals of Windows.
Short answer: No can do.

When I close firefox it doesn't really close it seems to be hidden. Then when I try to start it again I have to Alt, Ctrl, Del, go to process , turn it off then hit it to start again. I can not get it to open in the hidden process that it is in

Apparently when I close Firefox it doesn't really close. I get told when I try to open Firefox later "Firefox is still open, you must close Firefox, Then reopen it. Then I hit Alt, Ctrl & Del, go to process's then I have to close it then reopen it. It does not open until it is closed in process's.

The process can take a few seconds to close. Sometimes you need to use Task Manager.

How to disable system keys like alt+ctrl+delete...

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way to disable system keys like alt+ctrl+delete and windows logo key etc... I would like it to get disabled when ever my java application is visible and I want it in pure java.
Thanks,

Jay

Thanks for all your replies but hey I've seensome
program ( downloaded from google ) do suchthing.
What they do is some kinda image thing appearsin
the
full screen mode and do all the tasks what I'veopt
for. So, I'm confused what is being done in
those
programs.
Even if it is doable (Ctrl, Alt Delete I don't
think
will be, Windows Key should be) It will not via
Java,
but JNI. So you would be better off hunting overthe
MSDN.137256 speaks the truth. Ctrl-Alt-Delete is a
HARDWARE interrupt caught by the OS. In modern
Windows it launches a widget that can be used to
shutdown, logoff or run task manager. I have many
doubts about what the OP is saying.

Revolve 810 G1 Unlock Computer when in Tablet Mode. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or Windows Security Button

1. I have an Revolve 810 G1
Running Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit).
When I change the screen to Tablet Mode
(Folding tablet over keyboard and using as tablet).
I lock my computer.
2. What to know how to unlock without having to Open back up and use the CTL-Alt-DEL keys.
When Locked screen shows: Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or use the Windows Security Button to unlock this computer.
I would like to use the Windows Button on the bottom of the screen
(One Used in Windows 8 to change between Desktop and Metro) to Unlock screen And bring up on screen keyboard to put in my password.
This is probably how it should work, but it does not work.
Even bringing up the onscreen keyboard via the blue power button On the screen to Ease Of Access does not work.
The CLT-ALT-DEL on the on screen keyboard will not unlock the screen.
P.S.
Where is that Windows Security Button when you need it?
Thanks,
Rog

If you are using Windows 7 (not Windows 8), you should be able to touch the Ease of Access button at the lower left of the screen, then select Type without the keyboard (On-screen keyboard). When the on-screen keyboard pops-up, press CTRL, then ALT, then DEL. You should get a password prompt; the on-screen keyboard will stay visible unless and until you close it.

Alt-Ctrl-C not working, InDesign CS3, Windows

Hello,
We are currently running Adobe Design Premium CS3 and are having a hard time getting the keyboard shortcut Alt-Ctrl-C to work in InDesign.
I do have the ATI Catalyst control center application running at startup on my Windows Vista PC, however even though I have disabled hot-keys within this application Alt-Ctrl-C still fails in InDesign.
Just in case the ATI application was still intercepting the key press event I tried both changing the hotkey that ATI responds to and closing the application all together. Still InDesign refuses to accept Alt-Ctrl-C
Any ideas?

The solution is to STOP ATI Catalyst from starting up in the startup menu when booting XP.
I had the same problem and it was ATI Catalyst that was the offender. It has a built-in shortcut key of CTRL + ALT + C that is set to open the program and it overrides the one in InDesign.
People have tried to disable the shortcut keys in Catalyst, but in all honesty, you just do not need the thing open until you actually want to use it. It is sitting there are a memory hog.
I solved the problem by going into the Start Menu of XP and taking it right out of there so it doesn't start up at all. This then leaves ID free to use the shortcut of CTRL + ALT + C.
You can also go to the START button, then RUN, then type in MSCONFIG, and select the last tab on the right: Startup. Then disable the ATI Catalyst check box. Close out of everything and do a reboot of your system.
Hope this helps those with the problem.

Problems with Photoshop CS2
I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.

Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

How remove data from OS X10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4 beyond Delete or Ctrl Del?

How remove data from OS X10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4 beyond Delete or Ctrl Del?
When I had a Windows OS based machine I had to dig deep into the Directory to find everything I wanted to remove as the delete function did not do so. I don't know if this "digging deeper" action is even necessary in Mac and if it is where I would go in Mac to do so. Is it? If so, how?

I appreciate your clarification inquiry request. My goal was as initially stated, to "find everything I wanted to remove as the delete function did not do so.......if.....digging deeper.....is.....necessary.....and if it is where....go in Mac to do so....(and)...how?"
I have now resolved my data removal inquiry, accomplishing it through use of William Lloyd's post of instructions.
Thank you.

Weird problem alt+fx = alt+ctrl+fx ??!

Hi, I'm having a weird issue here and I don't have a clue what the problem might be...
When I press alt+f4 (for instance) my system acts like I pressed alt+ctrl+f4 changing to the tty4 console, I don't know why it might be, I'm running gnome + compiz and I don't see anything that may be causing this, any clues someone?
Thanks.
Edit: I just noticed, it does run the alt+f4 (closing the focused window) but it also changes to the tty4...

I tried setxkbmap before without success.
Also tried:
localectl set-x11-keymap "us" "" "" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
Not sure how to go about using loginctl to do the same thing.

The "alt, ctrl and shift" on the left side of my keyboard keys integrated notebook did not work. What should I do?

Hi Luis Fernando Garcia,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has troubleshooting for keys not working on your keyboard:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sureMouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, seeUnable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Cheers,

Hotkeys Alt+Ctrl+F1 - Alt+Ctrl+F5 - which pre-install application intercepts them

I used to use keys combination from Alt+Ctrl+F1 to Alt+Ctrl+F5 as hotkeys for certain application. But in my new Lenovo ThinkPad w530 with Windows 7 x64 I can not do it, as it seems, that some pre-installed software has registered these combination for itself. When I press them, absolutely nothing happens, but if I try to assign these combinations in my app, i get the error message, that they are already registered for some other application.
I've checked twice all installed applications, starting from Window 7 itself. Seems, that none of them uses these keys.
Well, I've tried than to stop virtually any software, incuding resident utilities, but this hotkyes are still busy
Is there any ideas, which piece of software pre-installed by Lenovo might reserve these combination for itself?
Or is there any way to detect, which application intercepts handling this keys?
Thanks in advance!

So what? Whether nobody has the same issue with occupied hotkeys or has no time to answer?
I suppose, that the problem is somehow connected to the package Intel Management and Security Status, which is pre-installed by Lenovo. But i could not find any option to change these default hotkeys or disable them at all.

How do i use the "Alt+Ctrl+;" keyboard shortcut to Lock and Unlock Guides in Adobe Illustrator?

Hello,
I've been trying to lock my guides in Illustrator CS5 with the default keyboard shortcut "Alt+Ctrl+;", but with no result.
When i edit this shortcut via the 'Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts...' menu, and type in the same keystroke combination for that command - so again "Alt+Ctrl+;" for "Lock Guides' - the shortcut changes from "Alt+Ctrl+;" into "Alt+Ctrl+."
This new "Alt+Ctrl+." shortcut is usable. Now the same 3 different keystrokes tabbed at the same time do lock and unlock the guides, but i'm left wondering why it is that i can't use the "Alt+Ctrl+;" combination.
There now also seems to be no way around changing the new combination into the old one again.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance,
Johan

Thanks Jacob. I can't seem to find a solution to my problem within the site you linked, but i'm still happy with it. Seems to be a great resource for answers.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.
