Those little ninjas like to touch anything that beeps and blinks and the computer is usually one of their most desired targets in the household. Some are masters in pressing key combinations that even experienced admins did not know about.

To avoid damage to a computer system it is always a good idea to lock it up as best as possible. Our advise would be to turn it off whenever a little one runs around but this is sometimes not possible. Kid Key Lock is a protection software for the Windows operating much like the formerly reviewed program to lock optical drives, Toddler Trap or Crazy Little Fingers.

Kid Key Lock is able to lock the computer mouse and keyboard. It can be customized further to suite the needs of the user.

The left, middle and right mouse can be locked individually as well as the double-click and the mouse wheel. The degree of the keyboard lock can be customized using a slider which ranges from no locks at all to a complete lock of the computer keyboard. In between are options to only lock system key combinations or all keys except characters, space and enter.

Kid Key Lock uses a little bit more than 4 Megabytes of computer memory while running.
