  - by user33852

  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.
