Hi, I am looking for something (probably a device driver) which will let me completely block out Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break during execution of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file at boot-up. I am running DOS3.2 at the moment, but I think I need it to work on 3.2, 3.3, 4.0, and 5.0, and I don't know of anything in DOS itself that will let me do that... Any help would be appreciated... please send me email, and I will post a summary to the net when I have some working answers....

Try making the first line of your autoexec.bat BREAK OFF it's the simplest approach. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | max@gupta.com | Max J.

The Command BREAK OFF Directs MS-DOS To Check For The Key Combinations Only During Input And Output Operations. BREAK ON Will Allow MS-DOS To Check Whenever A Call Is Made To The Operating System's Service Functions. So In This Case BREAK OFF Will Not Give The Results Asked. An ISR Device Driver That Intercepts INT09h(BIOS Keyboard Handler) Or INT1Bh(BIOS CtrlBRK) Or INT23h(BIOS CtrlC Handler), Might Do The Trick. Let Me Know If You Find Something. Maybe I Could Use It, Too. -- ############################################################################### # C.JamesCallaway! # CALLAWAYCJ@EA.USL.EDU | FUTURE iMAGE SoftWorks! # # USL P.O.
