I made this small app to try and lock a computer in Media Center until a password is entered.
What it does:
- Saves encrypted password to "key.sl" file (saves to location of MC_Lock.exe)
- Runs Media Center
- Keeps Media Center on top & active
- Locks mouse within Media Center window
- Closes taskmanager if detected
- Locks screen & asks for password if Media Center is closed
- Restarts Media Center if password isn't entered
Other info:
- You can still use Alt+Enter to restore/fullscreen Media Center
- Alt+F4 will close Media Center and prompt for a password
- Apps that don't actually run within Media Center won't display (ex. Solitaire)
- This probably won't let HD-DVDs or Blu-ray disks play properly, though I haven't tested this.
This is still a beta, so there might be some bugs - let me know what you guys think.
Download it from the Apps page.
