ColdKey 3.02
ColdKey disables Windows Hot-Keys.
ColdKey runs as a tray icon utility to disable over 350 different hot-key combinations in Windows 2000/XP/2003.
A Different Goal Than Secure DesktopSecure Desktop has always been a product designed as a full desktop security solution. ColdKey is our solution for customers who just want to disable various hot-key combinations. Period.
ColdKey Is Very SimpleColdKey runs as a tray icon in the Windows Explorer shell. With ColdKey, there is one tabbed dialog with lists and lists of over 350 different hot-keys. Simply check the hot-key combinations that you want to disable and that's it!
Custom Replacement Shell?Perhaps you've chosen to develop your own replacement shell. This can be fairly simple, but disabling keystrokes is not. Maybe you've chosen to use a browser or some other program as the shell. Use any shell with ColdKey, for a complete solution!
Use Windows Policies?The Windows Policy Manager provides many features for securing the Windows desktop. With ColdKey, you can now disable over 350 different hot-key combinations, giving you even more control over the Windows user interface.
ISV or OEM?ColdKey is ideal for software or hardware companies that need to easily disable Windows hot-keys. Please contact Visual Automation for volume licensing information.
PasswordThe ColdKey Password is used for this dialog and for exiting ColdKey. The Password is not case sensitive.
If you choose to not display the tray icon, you can get to the settings again by launching ColdKey again. It will still require a password.
Administrators and UsersYou can disable ColdKey Settings for the currently logged in user, which is located in the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Visual Automation\ColdKey
You can disable the ColdKey menu for non-administrators.
When the OK or Apply button is clicked, for the currently logged in user, the settings are saved for that user. If Save As Default is checked, the default settings are saved also. Default settings are used when there are no settings for the currently logged in user.
3rd party software enable/disableThe ColdKeyEnabled REG_DWORD setting is 1 if enabled and 0 if disabled for the current user. By checking the Monitor Registry checkbox, ColdKey will monitor this registry value for manipulation by a different program.
Automatic Start-upYou should choose to automatically start ColdKey, which is a setting in the registry.
XML Configuration FileColdKey configuration is now stored in the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Visual Automation\ColdKey\coldkey.xml
