Hello Brice,
as I remember the only things that you cannot lock in Windows 7 it's taskbar.
Normally I set the taskbar in this way:
Right click on the taskbar -> LOCK THE TASKBAR (Disabled)
Right click on the taskbar -> Properties -> Auto-hide the taskbar
In this way your user cannot exit or minimize PcVue. The only things still working is CTRL+ALT+CANC but there are a lot of trick to lock this keystroke:

Hoping that can help you.

Hello Filippo,
The Microsoft kb article just explain how to do an automtic logon while Windows is starting.
For me it is not a solution to lock the Ctrl+Alt+Del shortcut.
I didn't find any solution to prevent that. I also tried to capture the keystrokes with a keyboard macro software without success. I think Thierry spend some times on it and didn't find any solution too.
Our kb article 454 is not yet finished because of Windows 7 and 2008.
If a solution exist we should speak about it here and then finish the kb454.

I found this on a Forum. I didnt test it. Somebody wants testing it?
------------------
Hi, I've been doing some work on configuring a windows 7 computer for Kiosk use and found that the Ctrl-Alt-Del options can all be disabled through the Group Policy Editor.
Run GPEDIT.MSC from a command prompt or the start menu. Follow the instructions listed below:
Disable Ctrl-Alt-del options
a. Type gpedit.msc from cmd prompt
b. Select User Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Ctrl-Alt-Del Options
c. Double click on each Remove Change Password, Remove Lock Computer, Remove Task Manager, and Remove Logoff
and select Enabled then OK.
d. Select Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Logon
e. In the right hand pane, double click on Hide entry points for Fast user Switching
f. Select Enabled then OK
This will remove all the nasty items in the ctrl-alt-del screen that can give users access to things you want to protect.

By the way, Brice, pay attention when you create a post please create it in the good category. This one must be in General. You have created in PcVue category!
