Key combination lock

I have a young daughter who loves to sit and watch the aquarium, unfortunately she also likes to hit random keys, any chance of adding a kiosk mode where the keys are locked (and right click) and unlocks with a three key combination (Z+L+0) or something.

Maybe even with a user selectable key combo.

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but if you enter a password for windows and set MA as your saver would'nt that suffice?

A Windows password would prevent the Aquarium from exiting, but keystrokes would still be processed.

The lock idea is a pretty good one. I handn't really thought of it before, though people have been complaining about their cats pressing the keys for years.

Haha, great product! The website was worth looking at, if only for the priceless line "Cat-like typing detected".

I could never utilize that software, it would be totally humiliating to be trying to type something and look up to see that message.

That looks like it would be a very helpful piece of software! I will consider purchasing it.
Write paranormal mysteries. Six books so far.
