Kioskit does not disable the Ease of Access or Accessibility shortcut keys. For example, pressing the Shift key five times consecutively will trigger a message box and bring up the taskbar, which user can use to access the Control Panel and other files or folders. Fortunately, administrators can disable the keys in the Control Panel easily to prevent the message boxes from showing up when the Ease of Access shortcut keys are pressed by users or operators.
