This tutorial will show you how to lock keyboard in Windows 8 to prevent keystrokes.
This concept of locking a keyboard comes from the mobile phones, especially the smartphones as locking of keyboard/screen is very important or else you would have called several persons without your knowledge or would have performed an irreversible task which may cost you highly. Similarly this task is pretty much important for the computer users too as we might place something on the keyboard while we are not working on it. For e.g. a 90% downloaded file got cancelled by placing a notebook on your keyboard.
So, it is necessary for the computer users too to lock their keyboard while they are not working on it. You just need a software, “Toddler Keys” and follow a few simple steps to do so.
