Hello
To disable certain keyboard combinations in kiosk mode, you can modify the Windows Registry. Here’s a method to disable the Ctrl + Alt + Del combination:
1.Save the following text into a text file named disable_Ctrl_Alt_Del.reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,4d,e0,1d,e0,4b,e0,1d,00,\
00,00,00,00
2.Double click the file to apply the changes to the registry.
3.Shutdown and restart your computer.
This method blocks all hotkeys using Ctrl/Alt/Del, including Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V. Please be aware that this will affect all users on the computer, not just the kiosk mode.
Before making any changes to the registry, it’s recommended to back up your registry.
This method might not work for all keyboard combinations, and it might not be the best solution for a corporate environment. For more advanced settings, you might need to use Group Policy settings or third-party software.
