Changing Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence to somethinge else

[Bruck]

I am working on a roll-out project of 100+ pcs with 2 images on them. Win xp Hosting Virtual PC. The biggest problem I think will be that the users will accidentally press ctrl-alt-del instead of the host version of it for the virtual pc image. I would like to take the host pc, and make CTRL-AL-DEL not work, but some other sequence work. The pc is running novell client as well, so disabling the ctrl-alt-del in windows is not the correct solution.

Thanks!

Q. I can't get Ctrl-Alt-Del to work!
A. Ctrl-Alt-Del is a special key combination for Windows, and no application is allowed to intercept it (this is why it is used for the logon screen - if someone wrote a trojan that looked like the logon dialogue then when you pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del to logon it would become immediately apparent). To get around this, you must press a different key combination which gets interpreted to Ctrl-Alt-Del inside the VM. For VMware, it is Ctrl-Alt-Ins. For Virtual PC it is [Host Key]-Del (the host key is Right-Alt by default).
