How to Disable Ctrl-C /Ctrl-S While Running a Batch File

Question

By default, batch files can be terminated when the user presses Ctrl-C and can be paused by pressing Ctrl-S. Is there a way to disable this? The MS-DOS BREAK command apparently used to do this, but it is now ignored in Windows. I need something that works in WinNT 4.0 and Win2K.

Answer 1

ignore confirmed by help:

C:>break /? Sets or Clears Extended CTRL+C checking on DOS system

This is present for Compatibility with DOS systems. It has no effect under Windows.

partial solution: start /MIN /B myscript.cmd :

B           Start application without creating a new window. The
            application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application
            enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt
            the application.
