can the ALT+TAB shortcut keys be disabled?

For gaming reasons, im looking to disable the ATL+TAB shortcut keys. In XP i was able to set a "SETA CL_1 TABALT 0" var in the config files for some games, but they no longer work now that i have vista. I have read posts where you can set a key in the registry to disable the windows key but i cant find the info i need to disable the shortcut ALT+TAB. any info would be great and thanks in advanced.

You can use this to disable keys, only in the specified program.
ie. When you disable it for a particular game, the key will still work in
all other programs as normal.
