What operating system are you using? Windows?

As I understand it, you can't block, modify, or otherwise access Ctrl-Alt-
Del while running under Windows: it is the "Secure Attention Key", and is 
designed to be virtually impossible to interfere with. It's not *quite* 
impossible, but it is the deepest, darkest black magic. Microsoft makes 
it close enough to impossible as makes no difference even for experienced 
developers.

As a newbie, well, put it this way: it's like somebody saying "Hi guys, I 
have a shiny new Swiss Army Knife, the one with the screwdriver and the 
corkscrew. I'd like to build my own Space Shuttle -- what do I do?"
