Which trick are you referring to exactly?  Please be more specific.

I assume that you are referring to using SystemParametersInfo() under
Win9x/Me to prevent system keyboard combos from working?  If so, then no,
that will not work under WinNT/2K/XP, they use a completely different
architecture.  Have a look at the following article:

    "Is there some way I can disable the Ctrl+Alt+Del key and Alt+Tab
(task-switch) keys..."
