How To Quickly Lock Your Keyboard And Mouse When Moving Away From The PC

These Windows tools will help you to lock your keyboard and mouse quickly when you are not around the PC

 


  • There are several methods such as setting up a local or Microsoft account to be able to rapidly lock the PC by pressing Win + L and unlock it with a password to stop your inquisitive friends or co-workers from spying on your Windows computer when you’re not around. Another method is by opting for third-party tools to quickly lock and unlock the keyboard and mouse while keeping the screen’s contents visible.

Here i am Compiling Some Applications That Are Very Use full to Lock Your Computer.

And All The Complied Applications are Freeware and Harm Less to Your Personal Data.

KeyboardLock

You do not require to install this app. All you need to do is double-click the .exe file from the downloaded package to launch KeyboardLock.

You have to enter a password to lock and unlock the keyboard and mouse. By default, the password is cake, but you can change it into anything of your choice. Click Start and just type the password to lock the PC, and type it again to unlock it. While the pointer can be moved in locked mode, but nothing occurs if you try to type something or click the mouse buttons.

Please note that KeyboardLock allows the Ctrl+Alt+Delete command to be activated, so someone can do this to access Task Manager and switch to open windows.


 

Child Lock

An icon in the systray is created by Child Lock at start-up, which has four buttons displayed in the main window. If you wish to automatically lock the application, click Auto Lock, if it hasn’t been active in the last 10 minutes. Double-click the tray icon of Child Lock and click Cancel in the main window, if you wish to cancel this task.
Click Lock to block the keyboard and mouse immediately or press Shift+Alt+End. While they are locked, any key press or mouse click will turn the mouse pointer into the prohibited sign.

Click Allow Only to allow only a few keys to be pressed: Space, PageUp and PageDown, or Click Block Win Ctrl to block only control keys, i.e. Ctrl, Alt and Win key. This mode starts a few seconds after clicking its button to give you time to choose a window to limit the buttons inside it. The mouse pointer cannot be moved in this mode.

Activate the Shift+Alt+Home key combination to unlock the keyboard and mouse. In the main app window, click Options to review the hotkeys for locking and unlocking, if you forget them. It’s not possible to change them.

Please note that Child Lock allows the Ctrl+Alt+Delete command to be activated (even if you trigger Block Win Ctrl), so someone can do this to access Task Manager and switch to open windows.


BlueLife KeyFreeze

Since BlueLife KeyFreeze isn’t enclosed in a setupkit, you can double-click the .exe file from the downloaded package to run the program. It gets integrated into the systray.

Right-click the tray icon to lock the keyboard and mouse, and choose Lock All Keys or press Ctrl + Alt + F. There’s a small interruption before locking, during which you can cancel the task.

You can lock only the keyboard or the mouse (right-click the tray icon and choose Lock Keyboard or Lock Mouse).

Press Ctrl + Alt + F to unlock the keyboard and mouse. If you want to make changes to this combination (Ctrl + Alt + any letter or number), right-click the tray icon, go to Options, click the menu next to Hotkey for lock/unlock: and select the preferred combo. You can also block mouse movement (clear the Allow mouse movement box) or Hide mouse pointer (tick this box). Once you’re done, click Apply Options to commit alterations.

After locking the devices with BlueLife KeyFreeze, if someone sends the Ctrl + Alt + Delete command, the computer gets locked instead.

Note: The apps mentioned above cannot stop anyone from pressing the power button on your computer to shut it down, thus losing any work that has not been saved, and switching it on again to gain access to your data unless Windows login is requested. Therefore, you should still create a local or Microsoft account to make sure that your PC is secure.

How to install Windows in Mac(Apple)

Follow these simple steps to get Windows 10 on your Mac

On July 29, Microsoft finally took the wraps off Windows 10, the latest iteration of the Windows OS. It was delivered as a downloadable update to existing Windows 7 and 8.1 users.
The software was met with great reviews across the board, and its likely many Mac users would want to get their hands on it too. While Microsoft doesn’t officially offer support for Windows installations on Macs, you can install it yourself using the following guide.
You’ll need the following:
  • A secondary computer running Windows 10
  • An 8GB USB Flash Drive
  • A speedy internet connection
If you only want to try out the OS, install the trial version and uninstall it after the 30-day period is over. Otherwise, you’ll need to purchase a separate license for it.
Upon switching the PC on, you’ll be presented with the option to either boot into the default Mac OS X or Windows 10. If you already have dual-boot configuration up and running with Windows 7 or 8.1, you can update your Windows installation from within the OS.

How to Download Windows 10

Step 1: For this, you’ll need to use your secondary Windows PC. Plug in the flash drive and download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from Microsoft’s website. There are two options to choose from; 32-bit and 64-bit. If you don’t have an idea about computer architectures, download the 64-bit version just to be safe.
Step 2: Install and Run the Media Creation Tool, and select "Create installation media for another PC" when presented with the option, then click Next.
Step 3: Select the Edition, Language and Architecture in the subsequent screen and press Next. In the Architecture section, select 64 bit, as all new Macs support that configuration.
Step 4: Initiate the download after selecting to save the installer as an ISO file. While ISO files are meant for burning optical media disks, we’ll show you how to “burn” the file to a flash drive. There’s already an option to create a bootable flash drive using the tool, however, we ran into compatibility issues with the option.
Step 5: Select the location you wish to save the downloaded ISO file at. It is recommended to directly save it onto the USB flash drive. The ISO file is several gigabytes in size so it may take a while depending on your internet connection. Once the file is downloaded, eject the flash drive and insert it into the Mac you intend to install Windows 10 on.
You’ll no longer need the Windows PC for the remainder of the process.

How To Setup Your Mac For The Installation

Step 1: Access the flash drive from the Mac. Copy the Windows 10 ISO file from the flash drive onto the Desktop. Before proceeding further, ensure that there aren’t any additional drives connected to the Mac.
Step 2: Press Command+Space to bring up Spotlight. Search for and open Boot Camp Assistant. Press Continue once the application starts up.
Step 3: Check the following: Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk, Download the latest Windows support software from Apple and Install Windows 7 or a later version. Then proceed to Continue. Boot Camp will automatically detect the Windows 10 ISO placed on the Desktop. If it fails to do so, simply click Chooseand direct the software to the location of the ISO file.
Step 4: Verify all the settings and then click Continue. You’ll be presented with a warning; accept it and the software will start downloading the latest Windows support software, which usually entails the drivers and compatibility files.
Step 5: Boot Camp Assistant will redirect you to a screen which will allow you to choose the partition size for the Windows 10 installation. The slider will allow you to adjust the size. Windows 10 takes up around 20GB of install space, so ensure that you leave an ample amount of storage for files and program installs. Once set, this value cannot be changed. Once that’s done, click Install. Boot Camp Assistant will partition the Mac’s drive and restart the Mac automatically once it’s done.

How To Install Windows 10 On a Mac

Step 1: As the installation media has been created on the flash drive, the Mac will automatically boot with the USB to initiate the Windows 10 install process. Select the language, currency format, keyboard settings and time, then click Next. If due to some error, the Mac doesn’t automatically boot from the flash drive, don’t fret. You can boot from the flash drive by holding the Option key upon boot, and selecting the boot from flash drive option, once prompted.
Step 2: If you’re in possession of a Windows 10 key, enter it on the subsequent screen. If not, then simply skip the step. You’ll be prompted to confirm the edition of Windows, with a choice between Home and Pro. Select the version and press Next.
Step 3: The Windows install process will present you with all partitions, one of which will clearly be marked BOOTCAMP. This is the partition you need to select. Click it and press Format. Press OK on the warning prompt, followed by Next.
Step 4: The rest of the Windows install process is automatic. Depending on the capabilities of your Mac, the whole process may take 10 to 20 minutes to complete. Upon completion, the Mac will automatically boot to the Windows installation.
Step 5: The first login will be followed by a Boot Camp installation message. Complete the remaining Boot Camp installation process via the Wizard and then reboot the computer.
That’s it. Now, you’ll have a working dual-boot installation of both Windows 10 and Mac OS X on the same system. To choose which OS to boot into during the boot process, simply hold the Option key after the Apple startup sound. You’ll be presented with an option and can make your selection there.
In order to change the default boot OS, access the Boot Camp control panel in Windows or the Startup Disk in System Preferences on Mac OS.
To uninstall Windows and revert the changes, run the Boot Camp assistant in Mac OS X.
