Hotkeys override

Difficult question. The answer is probably no, if all I found in the Intertubes is right, but it is worth a try. I need to override the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and the CTRL+ESC combinations. It would be good to be able to override the WIN key combinations, but I have a low level hook that does such, I only wish I didn't need it. If I can manage to block the start menu and the task manager entirely by policy, the overrides will no longer be needed but I couldn't find the correct policy to do so.

From stackoverflow
  • So you need do override Hotkeys on your application? Then the answer is probably yes, how? No idea, but if this(http://www.inchwest.com/mapkeyboard.aspx) program can, so can you

    Leahn Novash : He does by using low level keyboard hooks. But those don't work with the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and CTRL+ESC combinations.
  • You can override Ctrl+Esc (I just tried in AutoHotkey, it works), but not Ctrl+Shift+Esc, no more than Ctrl+Alt+Del.

    So using policies is probably the way to go... No experience in this field, I fear.
