disable keyboard

[André]

I'm trying to make a small vbs that disables the keyboard of a win-XP machine, (so I can "block" my machine when I'm away, and I only have to click on an "undo-vbs" to continue working).
But, as I'm rather new to vbscript, I don't know which function I have to use.
Is there anyony who can help me ?

If you want to keep people from using the computer, why not simply lock the computer? That's a lot more efficient than writing a VBS script. Also, if you're really that worried, just unplug the keyboard. Problem solved.

I'm just interested in vbscript, I know it's not the best method to protect my PC

I found a couple of things... but this one looks promising.

I found this on a message board... but it wouldn't let me link to it. Just returns their homepage... The message board was http://www.developersdex.com

AutoIt/AutoItX is free and can be found here:
http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/

To disable mouse and keyboard input:

Set oAutoIt = CreateObject("AutoItX.Control")
oAutoIt.BlockInput "on"

Input will be automatically enabled when the script closes if you don't issue
an off command.

This function will have different effects depending on the operating system
used:.

Windows 95 No effect.
Windows 98 User input is blocked but AutoIt is also unable to simulate input.
Windows NT 4 (Without ServicePack 6) No effect.
Windows NT 4 (With ServicePack 6) User input is blocked and AutoIt can simulate

input.
Windows 2000/XP User input is blocked and AutoIt can simulate input.

I have not tested it... I'll leave that up to you.

thanks, phishphreek80 ,I've just downloaded it and took a quick look, and it seems to me that this program will do the job.
