Yes, here is the program to use....



Take the key off the keyboard and leave it in your desk, just in case you ever want it in the future.

I think what you want is the IBM PC AT PS/2 keyboard that doesnt have the windows key.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Open the Task Manager, end, "Explorer.exe." After you've finished playing, open the task manager again (Ctrl + Alt + Delete, or Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and go to File>New Task (Run...), type in: explorer.exe   press OK and you're back in action.

enable the windows key:

disable the windows key:

The link to the place I got the first two links:

http://www.sizzledcore.com/2008/07/24/how-to-enable-disable-windows-key/

I use a similar set of reg files, but don't have the original links, so I found these for ya. I haven't tested them so backup your registry before you run them.

Instructions:

1.) Backup your registry.

Note:
        If you're not sure how, go here:

http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-519-making-a-backup-of-your-registry

2.) download the two '.reg' files.

3.) run, (doubleclick), the one you want to run, and you should receive a message saying the file completely successfully, (or something like that).


Hope that helps,
