I hear people all the time talking about accidentally hitting the windows key will in game. Here is the link for a free shareware program called Ihatethiskey. It will disable your windows key so you don't have problems while playing.http://www.bytegems.com/ihatethiskey.shtml

Thats awesome Bear thanks for the link.  I've always wondered what the hell Bill Gates was thinking when he put that Golly-geen key right under the zoom key.

I popped them out, quite irate at the time i seem to recall, filed down the back of the key, and stuck them back in place.  So they are on the keyboard but do not actually do anything.
