You can only disable Ctrl-Break inside Pascal.

In order to completely disable Ctrl-Break you have to change the copy of
Command.Com that your application happens to be using at the time.

The reason is that for a number of operations Pascal is using DOS, and DOS
has no way to disable Ctrl-Break (legally), so whenever your Pascal
application is loading, or is temporarily passing control to DOS, even
though you have SetCBreak set to false DOS will intercept the key stroke
and interpret it.

Peter
