    Lockdown of public pc keyboard

    Hi all,

    Another question regarding public access to a PC.

    How do I most efficiently and securely expose a keyboard to the public
    without compromising the PC?
    I don't mean physically, but how do I lock down the keyboard keys
    programmaticall y is an easy way?
    I only need the keys "1,2,3 and ABC to XYZ".

    Anyone done it in .NET, is there a neat trick hidden in the framework? or do
    I have to listen on all the keystrokes and sorth them out as in VB6?

    Any tips are appreciated, thanks!

    --
    Best regards,
    Jocke
