I use this now for when I'm not working at the computer or watching a movie and the cat tends to step on the keyboard. This does the trick! Thank you much.

I need to block the power and Sleep buttons on my keyboard by the program. I wrote kbd hook to catch key events ( up /down ) for those keys but nevertheless I do not pass them further in the chain it is still possible to switch off (or lock ) the system :( How it works in your case?

I have some broken video game controllers that my nephew likes to play with when someone else is playing a game. Does not seem to bother him that his controller is not connected to the console. We just have to be smarter than they are ;) There is no trojan inside, check the autohotkey website and read up on false positives.

And when it freezes, I tell them they'd broken it. They're usually very well behaved thereafter as they thought they did something bad (broke a laptop) and wants to be as nice as possible to avoid "punishment" :) I usually just bring out one of my old laptops and let the little monsters at it.
