Haha, I love it. Very original. It's funny how the window always stays on top. You should maximize the window so it take up the whole window. (in setscreen, instead of using numbers to determine the window size, use maxx,maxy)

Do you have a solution for siblings who know all about CS and CompSci?
You can still move the mouse around in windows using the arrow keys. Making the computer unsafe from siblings even with the security youve presented. Overall nice program. Wouldn't be really usefully for me casue i lonely child (partially because i nuked my sister ages ago), but might be usefull for the guys at school who have sibs.

very cool

Sorry to be picky but the setscreen will not work with maxx, maxy. Use max,max instead. btw awesome program. it sucessfully screwed over my brothers attemps to get past it.

Omg this is so awesome..
i actually might use this on my computer aha
good job

[rollerdude]

haha! o i love ur use of multiple windows... and that the comp actually shuts down if its not typed in right... HEY!! if you put this program in the startup folder, and run it as soon as you start ur comp, then you would never have any problems... its like that other guy, who asked if there anything we could do to help him to stop his mom from reading all his documents...

good job, definataly a keeper!

[Tallguy]

it a really good program..but my brother is a really good programer himself so he say through it...but it worked on my sisters...so it was worth it... lol good work

[darkangel]

Thankx for commenting
ill put in ur considerations when making V3.0
lol, but i think that some DOS programmers might be able to get around the system shutdown thing
hehehe

[MichaelM]

wow, that thing wasn't kidding, very good

[Nick]

lmao i decieded to test if it would work and forgot the pass

[agnivohneb]

I like the idea just not the way it was programed

in the source i had an error maybe I have an old version of turing or something but here it is.
line 33
'Blur' is not in the export list of 'Pic'

and I received a few errors with the .exe and i can't change the password in it.

btw im using 4.0.5

edit: also i found some hacks

You need Turing 4.1. No, we can't tell you where to download it =\

Also, this is for annoying sibblings, not hackers.

I know you can't tell me. I will just have to ask my LAN tech at school for the new version again. The school has some license that allows them to do that.

I should have pointed out that they are not really hacks but bypass. I just have bad wording.

1. If the computer shuts down they can just turn it back on and if you don't have a pass set in windows they are free to do whatever

2. you can cancel the shutdown by (if they know cmd line):
Start->Run
Type "cmd" (no quotes) -> ok
when it opens type "shutdown -a" (again no quotes)

to fix this the shutdown cmd should be
shutdown -s -f -t:00
This will run a forceful shutdown and give them no time to cancel the shutdown

oh. didn't know that. but my noobish brother or 11 year old sister won't know how to do that . I'll never use it, because I have my own computer and I always lock my PC. (IN XP press Windows Key + L, make sure you have fast user switching on if you use the Welcome Page)
