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.

Optical drives are sensible and can break easily if enough pressure is applied. CD / DVD Drive Locker puts an end to this fear by locking selected optical drives of a computer system. The software program is easy to use. Just select the optical drives that should be locked and move them to the list of locked drives with the click of a button. Unlocking works practically the same.

While kids – or more specifically parents – are the main target for the application it might also make sense under other circumstances. Could be useful to lock the optical laptop drive to avoid that the drive opens accidentally.

Credit goes to Instant Fundas for finding the application. They missed to include a link to the application though. CD / DVD Drive Locker is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 2000.
