I would like to prevent users from exiting W2000 screens with the top right corner "X" close button. Is there a way to do this for an application or for W2000 globally ?

Yes this can be done. All you need is the following DLL file and registry entries.

SbxCmdRT.dll

The next registry file will register the dll file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"AppInit_DLLs"="SBXCMDRT.DLL"
"DeviceNotSelectedTimeout"="15"
"GDIProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00002710
"Spooler"="yes"
"swapdisk"=""
"TransmissionRetryTimeout"="90"
"USERProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00002710

The following registry file will grade-out the X in the top right corner for the application you want.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Softblox\Policies\SystemClose]
"WFICA32.EXE"=dword:00000001
"nlnotes.exe"=dword:00000001
"CMD.EXE"=dword:00000001

Command console & Lotus Notes & ICA CLient are in this as an example.

Of you want the files I can e-mail them to you.
