Block alt + tab in Windows 7

Question

I'm developing one kiosk software, to run over Windows 7.

I need to block key sequences like alt + tab, alt + F4 etc. How can I block it?

Answer 1

Autohotkey can do this in a single line:

!tab::return

It's useful for blocking all of the common nasty key combinations you wouldn't want used on a kiosk, such as Alt+F4, Ctrl-W (depending on browser used), F11, and so on.

Answer 2

I would suggest reviewing this: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/WindowsNT/AdminTips/Miscellaneous/DisableAltTab.html

(Registry entry should do the trick).

Also, I would look into replacing explorer as the default shell app. Then you'll have more control over what people run.
