Joe B. asks a question to do with PCs, Super_Geek dives in and tries to
help:
>I am using windows 98, I need to lockout my keyboard while

>Thanx Joe B.
unplug it?
Why do need to lock it out? If it is because you don't want kids/adults
acting like kids to fiddle with the presentation when you are out of the
room, then this is fine. Unplug keyboard, take it with you.
But if it's for some other reason, (maybe the space key is jammed down
and you don't want your slides advancing...) then you'll be needing 3rd
party software. Windows cannot lock out the key board to my knowledge.
Do a search for 'Keyboard lockout' or 'lock keyboard.' It should come up
with 1000s of programs. Make sure you don't lock yourself out mind!
