We have an old DOS app that is running on a NT 4.0 server (SP5) and I need to disable the 'X' button in the right hand corner of the application.

Since my users think it is a windows application - they think they can hit the 'X' button to close out the program -what they need to do is hit the Esc key. Little do they know when they hit that 'X' button it causes corrupt and lost data. I REALLY NEED TO GET RID OF THE 'X' BUTTON!!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

This is probably not the *best* answer, but you could force the application to run in full screen mode. . .the "x" is not visible. David Moore
