A user name and password can be generated using LockBox, a tool that integrates itself in the system tray. Clicking on the icon deactivates the Windows user interface; while the interface is locked, the task manager can no longer be launched using the keyboard, and Windows features cannot be accessed with mouse clicks. However, videos will continue to play in the background without locking up the system. This makes the tool ideal for a booth display at a fair, trade show or in a store, or to let kids watch a DVD without granting them complete access to the PC. Right-clicking on the LockBox icon opens the Unlock feature, where you enter a user name and password to re-activate the user interface.
WMIinfo compiles information about the system's hardware and any software that is installed. This tool is ideal to quickly check what components, codecs and features are in the system.
