I have already done that, in AutoHotKey ... or at least it used to work. AHK can detect when a window opened. And when CAD was pressed the ... well, I've forgotten what it was called ... but a window opened asking if you wanted to open the task manager, or quit or log off or what. Then you would know that CAD was pressed. There was nothing you could do to stop it, but you could at least detect that it had been pressed. That's why I was wondering if there was a similar technique which could be used in Python. Den -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
