633960 2008-01-25 17:52:00 Anyone know how to permanantly deactivate the left "windows" key? JJJJJ (528)
633961 2008-01-25 17:57:00 Yup, buy a kb that doesnt have it.

Whats wrong with that key anyway. Its a good shortcut key for a few things.

633962 2008-01-25 18:06:00 Why? Because I use left control key for voice activation. An accidental touch of windows key causes a major lockup.
That's why.

You can certainly remap the key. Involves modifying the registry.

633964 2008-01-25 20:28:00 Buy a Logitech G15 as these have a switch to deactivate the windows keys, comes in handy for me :thumbs:

I know the old model does (blue back light), I am not sure about the new one though...

633965 2008-01-25 20:53:00 Is this for Opera?

If it is go into its options and disable it. Then you wont have to press a key.

You just talk.

633969 2008-01-25 21:00:00 if you want to disable the key MS tells you how here ( . microsoft . com/kb/216893" target="_blank">support . microsoft . com) Also found This Here ( . com/jh/useful_stuff/disable_windows_key/" target="_blank">johnhaller . com) files that are meant to do it for you . Normally I'd try these before posting, but I always use the windows Key - so I'm not going to disable it .

If you use the MS method, copy/paste the code in - you'll see why I say that:rolleyes:

Use at your own risk
