Disabling XP task manager in VB6

I prefer using simple method CODE Private Sub Timer1_Timer() Shell "taskmgr", vbHide Form1.SetFocus End Sub but Registry is better in many case Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Key: DisableTaskMgr Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1=DISABLE TaskManager Value: 0=Enable TaskManager Vace
