Basic Instructions:
---------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT--WHEN INSTALLING KEYKEY FOR THE FIRST TIME, 
KEYKEY WILL NOT WORK UNTIL YOU REBOOT/RESTART YOUR 
COMPUTER.  WHEN YOU FIRST INSTALL KEYKEY, IT WILL ASK YOU 
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.  BE SURE TO 
CLICK "YES"


The main feature of KeyKey is to capture every word and
letter typed into a computer and save it for you to view
at any time.  Why would you want to capture and record 
eveything typed into your computer?  Below is a list of
reasons to use KeyKey:

1)Suppose your computer crashes or the power goes out
while you are working on an important document and you
lose all your work.  If you have KeyKey running on your
computer, you never lose your work.  Everything you 
type is stored in a file you can access anytime.  So even 
if the power goes out, or your computer crashes, or you 
just forgot to save something.  Just go to KeyKey and it 
will be there for you.  Nice and safe!

2)Maybe you have children, and you would like to know 
what they are doing on the computer when you aren't there
to watch them.  KeyKey will capture everything they type
into the computer.  After your child is finished playing
with the computer, you can open KeyKey and see what they
were typing.  Maybe they were chatting in a chat room 
with a perverted stranger.  Or maybe they were looking
at an offensive website.  This is information you need
to know to protect your child.  You would be able to view
the what your child had typed if you had KeyKey running on 
your computer.
Your child may be afraid to tell you about this incident, but 
KeyKey will tell you about the incident.  Then you can
take action to make sure your child understands how to
be safe on the internet.  You may be saying to yourself,
my child already understands not to view adult material
or talk to strangers.  But kids love to do things they're
not supposed to.  And it's better to be safe than sorry,
and KeyKey can make certain you know what's going on.

3)Do you know someone who spends a little too much time
on the computer.  And you want to know what they are
doing?  KeyKey will show you exactly what they are doing.

4)Maybe you have an employee or employees and you want
to make sure they are not wasting company time.  You 
don't want to pay your workers for the time they are
fooling around with non-company related things on the
computer.  Many employees love to write their friends
emails, or play computer games on company time.  Now
you can monitor this and warn them about wasting 
company time if needed.  And you'll have the proof of
their time-wasting activities on disc.  So you can 
show them if they deny wasting company time.

5)If you make your living using a computer, and your 
income depends on your computer, KeyKey could save you
from disaster.  If you are a computer programmer, a
journalist, or you just do a lot of typing, think about
how valuable it would be have every word you type saved
to a file automatically.
------------------------------------------------------
To test the main auto-saving feature of KeyKey, type a 
document, an email, or just type anything you want anywhere 
you want on your computer as a test.  KeyKey will record 
everything you type.  After you are done typing some 
sample text, open KeyKey by clicking the KeyKey icon
on your desktop.  If you created a password, KeyKey will 
ask you for your password.  After you have KeyKey open, 
click the "Generate and View Report" button.  This will 
display all recent keyboard activity on your computer. 
That's all there is to it. It's that simple.  Anytime you 
want to see an update of the recent keyboard activity, just 
click the "Generate and View Report" button.
Remember, if you are not a registered user, KeyKey 
will only record for 45 minutes from the time you start 
your computer.  Once you purchase KeyKey, there will be no 
limit to the amount of time you can record.  Once you
unlock KeyKey, you will love what a powerful tool it is.

Below are the features of KeyKey and advanced instructions:
---------------------------------------------------------------
List of features:

1. Fast report generator that will quickly display all 
keyboard activity for any given day.  Everything typed on 
the keyboard daily can be quickly displayed by generating a 
new report.  You can generate a report to view recent 
keyboard activity at any time you wish by clicking the 
"Generate and View Report" button.

2. Works silently in background and loads automatically
with Windows upon start up. If you are using KeyKey to spy
on someone, this is a very important feature.  Or maybe
you just don't want anyone knowing KeyKey is monitoring
your computer.  Either way, the way KeyKey works will
help keep it your little secret.

3. Record TimeStamp feature.  With  this  feature you can 
record the time, so you can view more detail on what you 
have done along the day.  Or what your employees have 
done along the day.  This is an excellent way to monitor 
employee productivity.

4. Password  for accessing KeyKey Monitor.  With this 
feature, you can set password protection to access KeyKey 
Monitor.  This way no one can access KeyKey without your 
password.

5. Auto send email feature. This feature will enable you
to watch what's going on with your computer while you're
away.


1. What is KeyKey ?
-------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------
KeyKey is to your computer, what the black box is to an 
airliner.  It records all keyboard activity at all times.  
Airliners won't fly without a black box, and we believe no 
one should use a computer without a similar recording device.  
That's where KeyKey comes in.  We think KeyKey should come 
built into all new computers.  Think about it.  Who wouldn't 
want a back-up recording device keeping track of all of your 
computer activity.  That way if you think someone is using 
your computer without your permission, you will be able to 
tell.  Or if you think someone did something to harm your 
computer, the black box will tell you what happened.

KeyKey is a key strokes recorder utility that can be used to 
capture and record everthing typed into a computer.  Along  
with the key-strokes, you  can also record the task and 
windows captions at the  time  the  key  was  pressed. Start-
up and shut-down time of your computer can also be recorded.
---------------------------------------------------------------
KeyKey  works  in the background.  It is able to  record key 
strokes from  Windows  applications  as  well as  key strokes 
from a Windows DOS box (e.g DOS application running on 
Windows MS DOS prompt). Once installed, it will load and 
run automatically with Windows.  KeyKey will capture every-
thing typed into your computer.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Why do you ever want to record your key-strokes ?
Well, by recording your key-strokes,  you  have on-line back-
up of your work.  What you've typed is there, and safely 
stored in a log file for you to view.  And also you may 
retrieve back your work or ideas (in case your computer  
hangs up or crashes before you save your work). What else? 
If you like to chat with IRC or ICQ.  You can make on-line 
documentation about the messages you've sent to your party.  
Anything else?  Yes, of course, you can view statistics of 
key-strokes. KeyKey is able to  view your  key-strokes 
statistics.  Not only that.  Since you can also record start-
up and shut-down time and also the task  and window caption
(also with the time)you can track your daily work 
productivity or your employees.

Now,  you know why you want to record keyboard activity.  
But why choose KeyKey?
- KeyKey is able to  record key-strokes from Windows 
  applications as well as from Windows DOS box.
- KeyKey can record start-up/shut down time of your computer.
- KeyKey can record windows captions of programs used.
- Password protection to access KeyKey for more security.
- Record time stamp at time interval you specified.
- Auto send email feature to send the log file to you.
---------------------------------------------------------------
2. How to use KeyKey and system requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------
KeyKey requires at least 4 megabytes of RAM and at least
10 megabytes of free hard-drive space.  KeyKey will run
on any PC based processor.  KeyKey runs on Windows 95, 
Windows 98, NT, and Windows 2000. You have to 
first install KeyKey.  You have to reboot/restart your 
computer after installing KeyKey in order for KeyKey to 
run.  KeyKey then works automatically and silently in the 
background when you restart your computer just like the 
black box on an airliner does.  Now, after installing 
KeyKey and rebooting, click the KeyKey icon on your 
desktop.  This is the KeyKey Monitor program. A message 
box informing that this is the unregistered version of 
KeyKey will appear.  Press the OK button.  If you created 
a password it will now ask you for it.  Enter your 
password and KeyKey will open.  Now you'll see the main 
menu of KeyKey Monitor program.

There are 5 menus :
- View / Report Option
- Advanced
- Email Option
- Help
- About
- Registration
---------------------------------------------------------------
To test the main feature of KeyKey, type a document, an 
email, or just type anything you want anywhere you want on 
your computer as a test.  KeyKey will record everything you 
type.  After you are done typing some sample text, open 
KeyKey by clicking the KeyKey icon on your desktop.  If you 
created a password, key key will ask you for your password.  
After you have key key open, click the "Generate and View 
Report" button.  This will display all recent keyboard 
activity on your computer. That's all there is to it. It's 
that simple.  Anytime you want to see an update of the 
recent keyboard activity, just click the "Generate and View 
Report" button.  Remember, if you are not a registered user, 
KeyKey will only record for 45 minutes from the time you

More info about KeyKey:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Important! Below are advanced instructions.  If you are 
a beginner, you don't need to read the advanced section 
below.  In fact beginners should not read the information
below because KeyKey will work fine without using the
advanced features below.  The advanced features settings
are pre-set for optimal performance.  In other words, your
better off not messing around with the settings.

Using the "Advanced" button
---------------------------------------------------------------
Under the Advanced tab you'll find:
Auto delete KeyKey activity report log after certain days.
(KeyKey assumes x days equals x times you start your computer).
Maximum KeyKey activity report log size is the maximum log file 
size before it is 'trashed' to old log  file, and reset its size to 0. 
Maximum  log file size can be set to 0 (unlimited, well.. 
limited by your storage free space) or in the range 
1-1000 KB. For the  unregistered version, you  can only
set it in the range 1-600.  Buffer  size can also be set 
to 0 (write directly) or in the range 1-1024 KB.  KeyKey can 
be activated or can be stopped from recording from this menu. 
There is also auto flush and record timestamp feature here. 
Auto flush enables you to write any characters (keystrokes 
or process name) in KeyKey buffer to your storage device 
(e.g. harddisk) at time interval you specified. TimeStamp 
recording feature enables you to record the time of keyboard 
activity.


Email Option
---------------------------------------------------------------
Here you'll find email configuration setting. You can set to
auto-send email the log file to your email address, so that you
can track what's going on to your computer while you're away.
Here what you can set :
- SMTP Server : You'll need to set this. If you do not know this
                you may ask your internet service provider.
- From        : This is the email address you want to be seen in
                the "from" field.
- To          : This is the email address you want the log file
                to be sent to.
- Subject     : You can put subject here.
- Message     : You can put message here. It will appear in
                the email body.

There are also several auto-send email options :
- Auto send email when there is a connection : You should check this
  value if you want to enable the auto send email feature.
  Whenever there is a connection then, the log file will be sent.
  KeyKey will continue to send the log file, part by part, as long as
  there is a connection. You may want to limit this email sending,
  So you may also check other options below.
- Send email only if log file size to send >= .... KB.
  You can limit the auto-send email to send email only when the log file
  has reached certain size.
- Send email every .... minute[s].
  You can further limit the email sending by checking this option.

Please note that this feature is made available to give you more control
on your OWN computer, and NOT intended to get any information illegally,
nor to harm others' computer. DO NOT use this software if you intend
to get information illegally.


---------------------------------------------------------------
View/Report Option

file.  Just click the "Generate and View Report" button.  
This will display your recent keyboard activity of your 
computer.  Remember, if you are not a registered user,

starting your computer.  Once you purchase KeyKey, there 
will be no limit to the amount of time you can record.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Output Option Section.  An output file is already selected 
for your convenience.  So you don't have to enter anything 
for your output file.  We recommend you leave it the way it 
is.  But you can provide a different output file (reporting 
file) if you want.
There is an option "Delete report file on exit". Just leave
it checked, so that generated report file will be deleted
upon exiting KeyKey Monitor program. Please note that the file
deleted is the report file that is generated from the log files,
and not the log files themselves.

Below is an example of standard report output :
--------------------------------------------------------------

The above sample shows you how a raw output text file looks
after you click the "Generate and View Report" button. Again,
it doesn't come out perfect.  The text will appear scattered
at times and in strange format, but at least it's all 
there.  If you are going to use the text from your output
report, you will have to make some repairs.

Registration:
The registration tab shows information on how to register 
KeyKey.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Trouble shooting.
If KeyKey is not recording your keyboard activity, try 
rebooting/restarting your computer.  The KeyKey demo will 
only record for 45 minutes, so you will need to reboot your 
computer if it's been more than 45 minutes since you started 
your computer.  Also, make sure your buffer is set to 0.
The buffer was pre-set to zero when you first installed.
