lists several possibilities, from disabling the taskmanager to injecting keyboard hooks. But I doubt there's some built-in java functionality for that.

Answer 3

You cannot do that. The behavior of Alt+Ctrl+Del is enforced by the operating system, for good reasons: it makes sure that you can always bail-out of a faulty application.
