There is something called PowerPoint Viewer. It can be used to view PowerPoint presentation only. How- ever, if somebody right click the mouse, there is a popped up menu with the Edit option which, when selected, will send the file to the Power- Point application. I want to disable the Edit option inside PowerPoint Viewer when my program starts, and then change it back when my program ends. Any idea? Also, I would like to ask can the Alt-F4 be captured? How about the Alt-Tab? Can it be disabled when my program starts and enabled when my program ends? One more question: How can I create a window large enough to cover the whole screen including the Task Bar? Thanks!
