Title: Stupid Windows Keys
Post by: Ball on March 01, 2007, 05:39:59 PM: is there a way to stop these from working on keyboard without ripping them out with a screwdriver? (like i did on my last keyboard).

Over the last couple of days i keep managing to open two disability programs (narrator and something else) mid flight which makes AH minimise.

Thanks in advance.

I want to know how you disabled it!!!! It happened to me a lot of times, too, to press the win key instead of the alt key... you all know too well what happens and you can imagine my reaction (:furious)

Please, tell me, how did you disable it? (of course if it's not by using the screwdriver :D)

Hehe, same here. I have an old IBM keyboard with an actual mechanical "click click" with each key press.

Post by: Ball on March 02, 2007, 12:44:51 PM: I just disabled mine in keyboard setup.

my old computer i popped the keys out using a screwdriver and shaved the ends down so that they did not touch the sensor inside the keyboard, then just put them back in. Voila!
