Windows button on the keyboard

Is there a way to disable the stupid Windows button on the keyboard?

It's really annoying, cause when I play games and press a wrong button, I often come near the Windows button by accident. The game get's minimized and the startmenu pop up. And since I have so small RAM amount, it takes forever to go back to the game!

So is there a way to disable this useless button?

Find an older style keyboard that doesn't have the Windoze button?

Try Winkey killer.

If that link doesnt work just google it.

I think there are other programs out there that do the same thing.

Before I discovered these progs I actually manually popped my win keys out of my keyboard. LOL!

I hope that helps.

You can change the function of the Windows key to act as alt or shift or anything, or simply disable it.  Each Windows key is independent, too, so you can disable just one and keep the other.  It's a registry setting that takes a little thinking to get right.

Remap the Windows Key on your Keyboard

All the instructions are there.

Good luck,
