How to lock a keyboard to prevent toddler from messing up computer settings?

Is there any way to lock the keys on the keyboard so that an 18 month old cannot make the computer perform functions I didn't know it was capable of?



This kid runs up and types and suddenly the computer is downloading things, backgrounds are changed, harddrives are reformatted etc etc.



I understand keeping the kid away would be ideal but for those times when it's not possible I want to know how to lock the keys.



Thank you.How to lock a keyboard to prevent toddler from messing up computer settings?If you have a PC, you can use CTRL + ALT + Delete (in that sequence) to lock the computer. It works best if you're password protected to decrease the odds of a valid key sequence being entered to unlock.



If you get into the habit of doing that as soon as you get up from the computer, you'll find that it's second nature %26amp; should prevent your little PC terrorists from striking at random.

Therefore making it the Mute command.

    Please help, I broke my laptop screen.?

    Okay, I managed to break the LCD display on my laptop yesterday. I was planning to replace the laptop some time in the summer when I had a bit more money, so I don't want a repair. I was thinking of an external monitor but these too are about 拢100. I found this on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brand-1-5m-Compo鈥?/a> and was wantering if I could link my TV up to the laptop? I suspect that would be possible, but if I successfully connected the two, would I need to do anything to make the display come on? Because of the brand of my laptop, there is no shortcut to change the output from my keyboard (I was shown that this was possible on other brands like Acer), so if I needed to change settings on screen it would not be possible because of the broken current one. Sorry about how complicated that sounds but any help will be greatly appreciated! Thankyou in anticipation.Please help, I broke my laptop screen.?you should get someone to fix te screen

    but the computer's site should tell you the best way to do it with googlePlease help, I broke my laptop screen.?You could use a connector such as the one you described. If you do choose to fix your laptop you can usually find cheap used LCD monitors on Ebay. They are relatively easy to change also.



    When you Install this, Right Click on the desktop of your computer, click properties and then go to display settings.



    If you have an %26quot;Fn%26quot; key, you can push that and F8 for it to switch over to the TV.



    If you completely unhook the junk LCD screen it may just automatically choose TV as the output location; however, I'm not certain on that.



    The issue would be initially making it show up on your TV without the %26quot;Fn%26quot; key. I think that if you detatch the broken monitor and have the TV all plugged into the side video adapter, then it should work for you.

    How do I switch to romaji -> kana conversion instead of using Japanese Keyboard settings?

    I'm using Windows XP, using Microsoft IME Standard 2002 and Microsoft Natural Input 2002. I used to have these extra buttons on my language bar that allowed me to switch between different input modes (hiragana, full/half-width katakana, full/half-width alphanumeric), but for some reason, those buttons are no longer there. The only way to enter Japanese text without using an external program now is to click the 'kana' button, in which case it just acts like I have a Japanese keyboard (with every key becoming kana directly, with QWERTY becoming ??????). This is rather annoying, as I don't have a Japanse keyboard, nor do I know the Japanese keyboard layout. Can someone help me change the input mode back to what it was (just typing romaji characters which are converted to kana depending on the chosen input mode)?How do I switch to romaji -%26gt; kana conversion instead of using Japanese Keyboard settings?Go to

    I can't get Logitech wireless keyboard and Microsoft optical mouse to work together?

    I installed the Logitech Wireless Keyboard software on my computer, and a Microsoft Optical Mouse (it's not wireless). Even though I chose only they keyboard when I installed the Logitech software, it installed the wireless mouse in my device manager anyway, which was blocking the functions of my 5 button mouse. I figured out that I had to uninstall the logitech wireless mouse from my device manager in order for the other mouse to work, but every time i turn on the computer, it is installed again. And every time I log on to the computer, my pointer settings on my microsoft mouse change. (it moves too slow). how can I make it so that I don't have to change the settings when I log on and I don't have to uninstall the wireless mouse whenever i turn the computer on??I can%26#039;t get Logitech wireless keyboard and Microsoft optical mouse to work together?Instead of uninstalling in the device manager you could try disabling.I can%26#039;t get Logitech wireless keyboard and Microsoft optical mouse to work together?don know

    If your Anti-virus/adware program warns that something is changing/adding to your registry, or making changes to your computer, allow it. We are disabling Stickykeys by changing your computer settings.



    Download off mediafire:

    It is a reg file containing:

  • How to Change Windows Vista from English to Spanish?

    Hello !



    I have purchased a Laptop with windows vista. I want to give it to my close friend as gift on his upcoming birthday. But the problem is he doesn't understand English very well.

    So, what are my options?

    Thanks for replying.How to Change Windows Vista from English to Spanish?being that it would be very space consuming for microsoft to include translations for EVERY menu, dialog, title, etc in one copy of windows, they tend to create customized language editions for wherever they are selling that version of Windows... to the best of my knowledge you cannot change the language to another language without purchasing a copy of Vista marketing to the Spanish speaking market

    A big Help plz? :(I Need to change Bios Settings ?There is a setting in the BIOS of most computers called %26quot;USB Emulation%26quot; which allows the bios to see a USB keyboard like it was a PS/2 keyboard.

    once you are in the BIOS, goto boot selection/sequence etc and follow the instructions given to change the boot order so that your CD is at the top.

You may have to press the num lock key to turn it on or off as needed. Some laptops have a numlock key and other have a numlock key that will work only if you press shift and numlock. Even others have a fn function key like Dell and you need to press the fn key and numlock to get it to toggle.How do i change num lock settings?reboot? holding buttons down for too long does tricks.
