Ctrl+Alt+Del is a SAS and cannot be disabled without writing a GINA DLL (in
C++).

And, if you did write a GINA to disable the SAS (Secure Attention Sequence)
you wouldn't get any corporate's to install it. Disabling CTRL-ALT-DEL
violates most companies Information Protection policies...

Don't know if it still works, but I had rename
taskman.exe to something else and taskmanager could not
load anymore. That was tested on Win98...

AFAIK it's possible to disable the taskmanager by setting an option or
registry key, but this requires a restart and doesn't allow you to get
notified if Ctrl+Alt+Del is pressed.
