- NOSTOP.SYS - disable CTRL-ALT-DEL, CTRL-BREAK and CTRL-C for MS-DOS 2.x
- and higher. Installable device driver with minimal RAM use.
- Should work on any IBM PC/XT/AT/PS/2 or true compatible.
-
- NOSTOP.SYS is a very simple device driver installed at boot-up via the
- CONFIG.SYS file. It throws away the CTRL-ALT-DEL (warm boot), CTRL-BREAK,
- and CTRL-C keyboard combinations, effectively making any operation including
- batch files, executable programs and DOS itself unstoppable from the
- keyboard. Once installed, the only way to halt the computer is to hit
- the reset button or turn off the computer.
-
- TO USE: simply include this line in your CONFIG.SYS file that resides in
- the root directory of the boot disk:
-
- DEVICE=NOSTOP.SYS
-
- The above assumes NOSTOP.SYS resides in the root (\) directory of the boot
- disk. If NOSTOP.SYS resides in some other directory you must include a
- path. For instance, if NOSTOP.SYS resides on the C: drive in the \UTILITY
- subdirectory:
-
- DEVICE=C:\UTILITY\NOSTOP.SYS
-
- It is suggested that NOSTOP.SYS be declared in the CONFIG.SYS file before
- any devices or TSR's that might be halted via one of the key combinations
- NOSTOP.SYS disables.

- You may use NOSTOP.SYS for a trial period of TEN (10) days after which time
- you must either register or discontinue its use.
-
- NOSTOP.SYS may not work with 386 protected mode operating environments like
- Windows 3.0. IE, NOSTOP will not disable warm boot under Windows 3.0 in
- 386 Enhanced mode, although it will work fine in real or standard mode and
- will still throw away CTRL-BREAK and CTRL-C.
