When Keystroke Lock is running, it is available in the Windows “system tray”. This icon serves as a quick status indicator, as well as another way to access the software.

Status

The icon will look different depending on whether keystroke encryption is active or not:

Keystroke encryption Enabled =

Keystroke encryption Disabled =

Usage

The tray icon can also be clicked on to interact with Keystroke Lock.

  • Left-click opens the Keystroke Lock user interface.

  • Right-click opens a quick menu with the options:

    • Open

      • Opens the Keystroke Lock user interface.

    • Enable/Disable Protection

      • Enables or disables the keystroke encryption.

    • Exit

      • Exits the software which also stops keystroke encryption.

Best Practice

We recommend moving the Keystroke Lock tray icon so it is always visible in your taskbar. This provides a quick visual way to confirm keystroke encryption is enabled.
