Under Windows 3.x and 95/98 you can prevent that a user switches to another application with the following code which pretends to be a screensaver running. This does not work under Windows NT. 

// You may need the following definition of SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING:
const 
  SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING = 97;

var
  OldValue: Longint;
begin
  // disable task switching
  SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, True, OldValue, 0);
  // enable task switching
  SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, False, OldValue, 0);
end.
