Nobody seemed to answer the question. I too am looking to disable the Close Button 'X' in a Dos window, I do not want to go full screen either and I don't want to use elaborate VB code to get this done. Is there a registry hack to "grey out" and disable the use of the close button while in Dos Mode? Please advise...
