Status: offline 		This is what I use to lock keboard and mouse on remote workstation. Here is the readme. I can't find the site I download if from but if you email me I will email it to you.

README for DOBLOCK.EXE
======================
What is DOBLOCK good for?
-------------------------
DOBLOCK is a little Win32 command line utility that
can lock and release mouse and keyboard at runtime.
It can be used for example during software installations
where a user should be prevented from clicking around or
pressing a cancel-button.

Usage
-----
DOBLOCK is executed from the commandline. So it can be used
in batch files, vbscripts, etc.
There are two methods of invoking DOBLOCK:
1. doblock.exe {block|unblock|?|test [<seconds>]}
Where the arguments have the following meanings:
* block - locks keyboard and mouse
* unblock - release keyboard and mouse lock
* ? - display usage
* test [seconds] - locks keyboard and mouse for the specified
                 number of seconds. If seconds is omitted,
                 lockduration is 10 seconds.
2. doblock.exe run <command> <param 1> ... <param n>
Locks keyboard and mouse and executes the specified command.
Any given additional parameters are passed to the executed command.
The command then runs with mouse and keyboard locked. After 
termination, the peripherals are automatically released.

Restrictions
------------
CTRL-ALT-DEL is not blocked.
Pressing these keys while the keyboard is locked, relases mouse and
keyboard.

License
-------
DOBLOCK is licensed as freeware and can be used and distributed
freely.
See LICENSE.TXT for details.

-------
If you got any comments or questions regarding DOBLOCK, please
feel free to contact us under info@nwc-services.de
