Keyboard softkeys still being passed through
Programmable keys (e.g. those extra buttons that automatically load your web browser, email and the like) are not being completely trapped by Baby Smash. BabySmash still correctly interprets them, however it does not block the commands tied to these keys from firing in the background.
The same applies for CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK and SCROLL LOCK.
I'm using a MS Digital Media 3000 Keyboard (running the IntelliPoint 6 driver software) on Vista SP1.

I have a Windows 7 Media Center hooked up to my television and have BabySmash! installed as well. I love the program and it’s great to be able to sit down someplace other than at a computer screen to let the little one bang away at the keyboard and watch their reaction. I have a "Microsoft Remote Keyboard for Windows XP Media Center Edition v1.0" with the native drivers that come with Windows 7. These buttons still bring up Windows Media Center and other related functions while inside BabySmash! and would like to see if we can get them locked out. My Music, My Radio, My Pictures, My Videos, My TV, Live TV, Recorded TV, Guide, DVD Menu, The Green Start button to launch WMC.

I've got a nMediaPC wireless keyboard with softkeys and those too come through. Worse is there's a 'mute' button. Not good to allow 'mute' on my HTPC, it messes with the recordings
