no, they dont, but i do let my friends and relatives use my juke on their partys, there i have no controls on whether some lurkers will like to sneak inside my content. usb boot has been disable, and bios has a password, so they don have a chanse too boot a second OS via usb. all i need its to secure the acces to windows.

So you want to disable it, but still need it yourself to access the taskmanager? Sounds like a conflict of requirements there. I mean, even if you would change the combination to something else this way there will always be a backdoor for someone to exploit.
If you're so concerned that people carry USB keyboards to hack the jukebox, I would disable the USB option alltogether.

Unless you have seen some history of "lurkers" doing this kind of stuff, I wouldn't worry too much about it. The other option is to simply not let friends and relatives use it if there is that much risk. I don't know, seems like a lot of work for something that seems unlikely to happen.
Up until recently, anyone could exit out of GameEx on my cabinet and jump straight into Windows. The keyboard was also plugged in as I was still working on it. Never had a single instance of anyone doing anything wrong. (Then again, I don't know how crazy the parties in question can be.)

Incredible how some users want to give other options based on their own ideas rather to help on the topic petition. I found a way to do'it, disable the keys with the reg file has described in the link above, and if i need to update the jukebox i can just simple boot onothers via usb (since im the admin) and update the juke.
ADVICE: guys please foucus into helping on what the topic petition is rather that give opinions that had nothing to do with it. thanks for the help felsir. :cheers:
