Does nobody know the mathematical formula to get multiple keys of your
choice to be disabled on the keyboard?

I'd rather make the changes in the registry, than to clip the wires in
the keyboard itself.


Neither mathematical formulae nor clipping wires is required. The
keyboard can be configured to disable whatever you want by using
software. The program I use is the freeware SharpKeys, which you can
get at http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/

Personally, I find that the Caps Lock key and the Insert key are
annoying since I sometimes hit them accidentally, so I use SharpKeys
to configure the keys to do nothing when pressed.
