Lockdown of public pc keyboard

Hi all,

Another question regarding public access to a PC.

How do I most efficiently and securely expose a keyboard to the public
without compromising the PC?
I don't mean physically, but how do I lock down the keyboard keys
programmatically is an easy way?
I only need the keys "1,2,3 and ABC to XYZ".

Anyone done it in .NET, is there a neat trick hidden in the framework? or do
I have to listen on all the keystrokes and sorth them out as in VB6?

Any tips are appreciated, thanks!

This may come in handy as well,

however for a system wide hook you will likely have to use C++, its just one
area where managed code isn't ideal.
