Answer 1

You can disable mouse and keyboard input using e.g. the AutoItX

component from a VBScript (you need to register a DLL on the target

computer), or you can use AutoIt to create an exe file that does the

job.



AutoIt/AutoItX is free and can be found here:

To disable mouse and keyboard input:



Set oAutoIt = CreateObject("AutoItX.Control")

oAutoIt.BlockInput "on"



Input will be automatically enabled when the script closes if you don't

issue an off command.



This function will have different effects depending on the operating

system used:.



Windows 95 No effect.

Windows 98 User input is blocked but AutoIt is also unable to simulate input.

Windows NT 4 (Without ServicePack 6) No effect.

Windows NT 4 (With ServicePack 6) User input is blocked and AutoIt can

simulate input.

Windows 2000/XP User input is blocked and AutoIt can simulate input.
