Title: Minimizer??
Post by: trigger2 on January 05, 2008, 03:03:49 AM

I've got a quick question before I go out and get a minimizer...

My whole purpose behind getting one would be because of the "windows" key on my keyboard.
It's in the worst place it could be as in a fight, I tend not to double check what I'm clicking and sometimes mistake it for the ALT or CTRL key causeing AHII to minimize and freeze up requiring me to restart my computer.

My question being, would installing a minimizer help AHII from freezing or should I just play Dr with my keyboard and disable the windows key?

You can disable your Windows key through the registry.  HIGHLY recommend you back up your current registry before trying this.

There is also a program for that.

Key tweak (http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/KeyTweak_install.exe)

PERFECT!

I've been wanting to disable  my caps lock key for months now.

Thank you!
