How to block Control + Alt + Delete in Windows 7 and 8?

Control + Alt + Delete is a powerful key combination on Windows devices to terminate a running program/task or restart a computer/Windows device. Blocking this key combination becomes crucial when your Windows 7 or Windows 8 device is being used as a kiosk.

SureLock blocks this key combination with its Keyboard Filtering feature.

1. On SureLock Home Screen, tap anywhere 5 times within 3 seconds to launch the SureLock Password prompt

2. On password prompt, enter default password 0000 (four zeros) and tap/click on OK

3. On successful login, you will be on the SureLock Settings Main Menu

4. On Main Menu, navigate to Keyboard Settings

5. On the Keyboard Settings screen, enable Keyboard Filtering.

6. Tap/click on Configure Keyboard Filtering to add/edit keyboard combinations that need to be blocked on the device.

8. Select Delete from the Key drop-down box, check Ctrl and Alt checkboxes, and tap Add
