How about a small C-- program:
/*
Title: NOBOOT.C--
Description: A small TSR program that disables the <CTRL><ALT><DEL> reboot.
Run File Size: 254 bytes.
*/
?include "KEYCODES.H--"
word oldkeyhandle[2]={};
byte altflag=0,ctrlflag=0;
?define s_upctrl s_ctrl+128
?define s_upalt s_alt+128
interrupt keyhandle ()
{
$ PUSH DS
$ PUSH AX
DS = CS;
$ IN AL,KEYBOARD_PORT
IF( AL == s_alt )
altflag = 1;
ELSE IF( AL == s_ctrl )
ctrlflag = 1;
ELSE IF( AL == s_upalt )
altflag = 0;
ELSE IF( AL == s_upctrl )
altflag = 1;
ELSE IF( AL == s_del )
IF( ctrlflag == 1 )
IF( altflag == 1 )
{@ EATKEY();
@ EOI();
$ POP AX
$ POP DS
return();
}
$ POP AX
$ POP DS
$ JMP FAR CSWORD[#oldkeyhandle]
}
main ()
{
@ WRITESTR("NOBOOT installed. <CTRL><ALT><DEL> is now disabled.\n");
@ GETINTVECT(#oldkeyhandle,KEYBOARD_INT);
@ SETINTVECT( ,KEYBOARD_INT,CS,#keyhandle);
@ KEEP( , , ,#main);
}
/* end of NOBOOT.C-- */
C-- is a low level language that is a mix between C and 8086+ assembly.
C-- is currently Pre-Beta, and the Pre-Beta version is currently available
as FreeWare. Since it is still Pre-Beta, it is not widely distributed as
yet. I can send you a ZIP of it if you wish, that is if we work out a way
to get the ZIP to you.
I don't know how large the resident code is of the TSR, but my guess is
under 220 bytes, not too bad.
