The way to block a windows-system by catching all events
is not nice. But if you must, this "feature" is built in
the "bo_peep" - plugin for "Back Orifice 2000" (www.bo2k.com).
This is GPL-ed, so you should be able to write an small
GPL-ed ATL-COM-Server, that do this dirty job.
My offer with the "top-most" -flag works well, but not in
the way for your bussines.
