BasicMouse and BasicBoard 5.8.0

BasicMouse and BasicBoard 5.8.0 is a parental control / school software for children and people with learning disabilities which 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.

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 whichyou allow mouse clicks.

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 ;)

BasicMouse includes BasicBrowser a web browser component which lets you add websites your kids or students can visit safely. Users are not able to enter anything in the address bar and visit unwanted websites, they are only allowed to visit the sites you want them to visit click requests on ads, other websites which url is different from the one you specify will be simply ignored.

Why BasicBrowser instead of your regular browser?

• Users are not able to enter anything in the address bar and visit unwanted websites.
• Users are only allowed to visit the sites you want them to visit.
• Users can not visit the favourites / bookmarked websites.
• Users can not mess up your browsers configuration settings.
• Use the browser more focused without being distracted thanks to the lock browser / screen buttons and in combination with the BasicMouse keyboard and mouse setting
• Users can not accidentally visit a website listed in the (address bar) history.
