I have an application to run on a dedicated kiosk. I want to disable any key on Windows7.
I want to block Alt+Ctr+Del, that users can’t shutdown the system.
I want to disable Alt , Ctrl keys that users can’t use Alt+Ctrl+Del, I use this
Scancode Map
REGEDIT5 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlKeyboard Layout]"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00,00,5b,e0,00,00,5c,e0,00,00,5d,e0,00,00, 44,00,00,00,1d,00,00,00,38,00,00,00,1d,e0,00,00,38,e0,00,00,00,00
But don’t work for me!!!
How to use scancode map for disable alt+ctr+del?
Solution:
Solution
There are multiple issues in your .reg
file:
REGEDIT5
is not a valid identifier; useWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00
instead.- The first line of the file is reserved for the registry editor version and should be followed by a blank line.
- You put at an extra space between
Scancode
andMap
. - Each comma-separated hexadecimal value should not carry extra spaces.
Here’s the fixed, working version:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlKeyboard Layout]"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00,00,5b,e0,00,00,5c,e0,00,00,5d,e0,00,00,44,00,00,00,1d,00,00,00,38,00,00,00,1d,e0,00,00,38,e0,00,00,00,00
As per the article linked by tenorkev, these are the keys which will be disabled:
5b e0 Left Windows Key5c e0 Right Windows Key5d e0 Windows Menu Key44 00 F101d 00 Left Ctrl38 00 Left Alt1d e0 Right Ctrl38 e0 Right Alt
Make sure to restart afterwards in order to apply the changes. As an alternative you might want to use SharpKeys to disable or remap any key.
