hi,

i'm creating an application in visual c++ (for win 9x, ME, XP) and in it i want the program to be able to respond to all keys on the keyboard.

after much reading, the only way to stop the windows keys opening the start menu seems to be with hooks and a dll file

is there any easier way? can anyone point me in the right direction for stopping the menu bar appearing?

also, is there a way to disable the "wake up", "sleep" and "power" keys?

thanks,
alex
