I have kids and there's some words i don't want them typing. If they type these words the computer is shut down

If you are worried that kids might somehow circumvent the program, you could add:

#NoTrayIcon

Note that if you do this, you won't have any way of exiting the program. To get rid of it, you'd have to remove the code that starts it and restart the machne. Alternatively, you can just include a hotkey that calls ExitApp, though kids might figure that text out if you don't compile.

Wonderful... so when little Rod is typing his school report and reaches a word like "circumstance", he loses all his hard work!

I'd suggest that you restrict such a script to certain applications where it is vastly more likely to effect the behavior you intend it to ( for instance, google image search or youtube or kazaa or limewire or whatever p2p client is popular now)

Or perhaps exempt certain programs that are used only for school/work so people don't inadvertantly lose data.

Eh. There are some scripts around here somewhere that prevent the opening of the task manager.

Or you have two instances running, each checking to see if the other still exists, and if it doesn't then run it.

this is aimed at kids who can't bypass autohotkey yet.
yes avoid things like tit as it will block things like title
some combinations of letters, which i won't spell out here, are unique to naughty words. cum would be no good, but cum{space} would do it
an interesting side effect of this program is my kids sometimes shutdown their computers by typing the f word.

Hey Billy, you should learn as hard as I do. I hope to graduate one day summa cum ... (laude).
