Stumped???

I''m not an authority on this, so don''t take my word, but I don''t think getting rid of ALT+TAB is possible. Actually, now that I think about it, it could be an option in Accesability in your Control Panel. That''s the best place to look. Why? Did you want it for a key combo? Or did it just annoy you cause it screws up your game when you switch to a normal screen? If so I can suggest two things, inserting code to catch it in action and window then minimize the program, or just pausing the game on task switch, like most games do. There should be a feature article on switching from fullscreen to window seamlessly in the Featured Articles section. Hope this helps some.

It isn't good practice to do that. It's annoying as something something when you can't minimize the game for a moment.

Rather, just set up some code to handle the reinitialization of DirectDraw surfaces, DInput devices etc. to handle task switching.
