How do I hide my app from the control-alt-delete list? I remember reading how to do this somewhere, but I can''t remember where. My Geekcode: "GCS d s: a14 C++$ P+(++) L+ E-- W+++$ K- w++(+++) O---- M-- Y-- PGP- t X R- tv+ b++ DI+(+++) D- G e* h!" Decode my geekcode! Geekcode.com

Even if you hide it from the alt+ctrl+del list it isn''t hidden from a process viewer. Process viewers are built into Win2K and WinNT, and any version of Windows from here on (boo on XP =P).

I haven''t tried these, but I''m just trying to brainstorm here:

Run as a service, or create your app with no name.
No name, good idea...but how do I do that? The Control-Alt-Del list seems to pick up the name of the application...do I just nape it " .exe" or something? Is there a better way?

I think he meant to give the class name or window name a NULL string.

?Have a nice day!?

No, simply set the system to think the screensaver is running, using one line of Windows API (which I can''t remember off the top of my head, i''ll post it later unless someone beats me to it)
