Disable Power/Reset button temporarily on Windows 7
I'm looking for some C# code or tool to that allows to disable the power and reset button on a desktop PC.
This is to prevent toddler's from pressing the tower reset/power button.
I'm using this program (Toddler Keys) right now to disable drive doors but unfortunately, the power option only works in XP
Update
I found ShutdownGuard which is close to t开发者_Python百科he task.
A better solution for a tower is hardware - a piece of plexiglass in front of the tower, for example. Depending on your toddler and the supervision level you provide, you could just prop it in front, or velcro it in place. If the tower is on a shelf, attaching the plexiglass to the shelf is even better.
Here is two non coding solution: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic117236.html
- Pull the cable from the switch ;)
- Change the setting in the windows power options (look in the link for details).
I think you'll be out of luck with software solutions to this as reset and long-press power is handled by the motherboard. You'd be best off removing the buttons from their connections on the motherboard and replacing them your own buttons that you can put out of reach.
