    Aloha.

    This might be a bit extreme, but you could disable the keyboard driver
    altogether. It doesn't accept stop control messages, so you'd need to
    disable it then reboot, or reenable then reboot, which may not be
    acceptable to you.

    You'll need the sc.exe tool from the reskit to do it this way - there
    are other ways though, so pick your poison.

    To disable:
    Sc \\targetserver config kbdclass start= disabled

    To enable:

    Sc \\targetserver config kbdclass start= system

    Don't forget the space in the "start= " portion.

    Good luck!

    Joel
