Hi there.

I would like a way to block my control panel and desktop settings.
I have a guy at my work place who keeps playing pranks on me.
I try to lock my computer but have this habit of not locking it so he's been very quick to get on it and play around with my settings.

Is autohotkey able to be setup so that a person cannot change my settings around?

Thanks.

I use to have that problem then I just got myself in the habit of locking my machine. It only took a few days for me to just hit WindowsKey + L which automatically locks the desktop.

You also might want to change your screensaver settings to 10 minutes or less (maybe 5 in your case).

You could use the Toddler Keyboard script which prevents alot of keys from being used, which again you would have to manually enable.

Best bet would be my first suggestion, just get in the practice of locking your machine.
