Parental control / school software for children and people with learning disabilities Allows parents and teachers to easily restrict several functions of the computer mouse and keyboard. BasicMouse and BasicBoard is a software package which makes it easier to use the computer, by for instance eliminating the problem of accidental right-clicks and the resulting context menus. A really useful program for students and kids: - Helps them learn to use the mouse.
- Prevents them from accidentally clicking the right-mouse button.
- Disables some or all keys of the keyboard.
- Let them learn and achieve goals without being distracted.
The right mouse button can be switched off completely, all buttons can be set to send left-clicks, mouse clicks can be restricted to a particular area of the screen and much more. The key / mouse blocking feature makes BasicMouse the ideal tool for gamers too! It's simple and efficient, your kids can surf and play without getting distracted, (educational) games, music, stories, colouring pictures, it makes it all a lot easier! The only button that remains functional is your left mouse button. Run the program, do your stuff and click on the icon in the systray to restore your (normal) mouse settings. Particularly useful when Flash games are used.  - Finally "Merge Mouse Buttons" is here, all 3 mouse buttons (left - right and middle) act like a left mouse button.
It doesn't matter which button is pressed the computer will always think it's the left mouse button! - Restricted Mouse Click area' for instance is a function we had a lot of requests for.
Just blocking the right mouse button just wasn't enough, your little sunshine could still reach the start button and send your tax docs to the recycle bin or he / she could start an unexpected journey on the WWW if you weren't watching!

Click 'Set Click Area' a transparent form pops up so you can see the underlying screen, drag a box to set the area in which you allow mouse clicks, et voila! - Block All Keys, just like it says disables your keyboard. Use it when your kids are watching a DVD or for instance in a store to prevent
customers from messing around with the computers displayed! - Exit password, ask for a password when users want to return to a normal mode / fully operational keyboard. if the password
entered is false the computer keeps running in restricted mode. - Blocks multimedia keys like browser, e-mail, etc.
Now you can use 3 shortcut keys which makes operating the program a lot easier, do you want to help a user, press CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-E to temporary enable mouse and keyboard, press CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-D to disable them back again. CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-Q quits the program, which is especially handy if you restricted the click area and you're not able to click in the systray ;) School software, safe surfing, restrict public computers, gamers aid? One tool, many solutions!BasicMouse and BasicBoard by Dolesoft
