Although this utility has been developed to prevent a particular cat from making changes to the workstation by climbing on the keyboard (like stopping music from playing), you can use it to prevent other people from using the keyboard, since it comes with password protection.

Since installation is not a requirement, you can simply save the program files to any location on the hard drive and run the executable file directly.

As an alternative, you can move Anti-Shaya to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any computer with minimum effort.

What's important to specify is that tools like Anti-Shaya do not work with the Windows Registry or leave files behind on the hard drive after removing them.

The interface of the app is made from a small, rectangular window with an uncomplicated layout. You can use the predefined password or change it into anything else. Once you lock the keyboard, the main frame minimizes to the system tray area. The keyboard can be reactivated by clicking that icon and entering the respective password. In other words, be careful not to forget the password. There are no other options available through this program.
