Kiosk mode in LaunchBox

Trying to find out a way to make my Launchbox go into a kiosk mode so that kids can't open tabs and go off of Launchbox but I can't find a way to do this sadly. I know BigBox has a lock feature but ideally I do not want to pay for a subscription just yet! 

You may be able to ask around to see if some one can try to make a plugin that could do this. Plugin would have to make LaunchBox window "TopMost" until a game is launched, then make it TopMost again after it's closed. VERY janky and prone to failure so I really wouldn't suggest it, but could potentially work. That being said LB doesn't lock out any operations and so the kids could still potentially add/remove games, media, or metadata from your collection should they press the commands to do so.

Ok thank you so much for the help. So LB doesn't have a lockout feature but does BigBox have one?

Correct. Big Box you can lock out several options (even skip the details window entirely). LaunchBox doesn't have that same functionality.
