Visual Automation, Inc. today releases ColdKey(TM) for Windows 2000/XP. ColdKey runs as a tray icon utility to disable over 300 different hot-key combinations.
A Different Goal Than Secure Desktop
Secure 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 Simple
ColdKey runs as a tray icon in the Windows Explorer shell. It is not designed to work with Secure Desktop, which has hot-key disabling built within it. With ColdKey, there is one tabbed dialog with lists and lists of over 300 different hot-keys. Simply check the hot-key combinations that you want to disable and that's it!
For Those Who Use The Windows Policy Manager
The Windows Policy Manager provides many features for securing the Windows desktop. With ColdKey, you can now disable over 300 different hot-key combinations, giving you even more control over the Windows user interface.
For Independant Software Vendors And Original Equipment Manufacturers
ColdKey is ideal for software or hardware companies that need to easily disable Windows hot-keys. Please contact Visual Automation for volume licensing information.
