Yes.

Windows 95/98/NT and maybe 2000/ME. (3.11?)

Part of a program.

File Type is .ppt.
Let me explain a little bit.  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!
