  Hi, I have been wondering with all this talk about hiding the echo off, if
there is a way to disable the Control-C so that a person can't break out of
the autoexec.bat.  I will be working this summer at a computer store, and
we have problems with people who come in and try to break out to the dos prompt
to do some nasty things to our hard drives, or copy software.  So we are
using Direct Access (a very good hard disk menu program, which disables Control-C) and only have a problem with people who try to break out of autoexec.bat
while it is loading up.

  A friend and I tried to disable it in the config.sys, but had no luck.

thanx
lee
