    Your thread title ....
    and your post are entirely different .....
    If you disable the mouse and keyboard the end result is obvious - an unusable computer? :confused:

    Please clarify.

    You could consider disabling the USB controllers in Device Manager - this will of course prevent any USB devices from operating.

    If the user account does not have Administrative rights then it should not be possible for the user to re-enable them.
