Child Proof is a program that protect your computer from children by
accident pressing wrong buttons or key. It hides all windows, the toolbar at
the bottom and the desktop and replaces it by a toolbar with programs you
allow your child to execute. This avoids most problems when children use the
computer, but not all. Please read the documentation before starting Child
Proof. For more information see the readme file.

GDS Child Menu

<SNIP>
GDS Child Menu is a shell to windows. This shell works almost like the
windows desktop, but is a advanced desktop-menu which contains buttons that
can start any application and controll the process. GDS Child Menu has a
Child-Safe Internet Browser (build-in). GDS Child Menu have a lot of
advanced features to prevent any damage caused by childs playing withe the
pc. We made this software as a way to handle childs usage of computers in a
way, so you can feel safe while your small childs are playing. We hoped that
Microsoft would have added a special CHILD account to Windows XP HOME, but
...NOT!.. Windows XP Home is NOT safe for small childs. Here is a short
breefing of, what you can control with GDS Child Menu. 1) Allowing only one
application to run at a time.(optional) 2) Disabling any key on the keyboard
(including special windows keys and combinations). 3) Control Logoff and
Shutdown from the menu. 4) Automatically generates statistics of the
applications that runs trught the menu. (time spend, number of times started
etc..) The application has been tested well by my own boy (he is 3½ years
old now) he have been using GDS Child Menu for the last year now on Windows
XP Home. No problems, and the computer still runs!
