RE: How to Simulate CTRL+ALT+DEL dialog box from a Ap--plication

Maybe you can do that writing a customized MSGINA.DLL. I know that that dll
is invoked when you press Ctrl-Alt-Del. I don’t know much about it but in
the past i found an article talking about how the operations that are
started when you press Ctrl-Alt-Del can be customized. On the net you can
find some stuff about it.
