Re: Application Key - How to Disable

Ken, thanks, that worked. Hopefully it didn't make any other changes
(unwanted ones) at the same time.


You're welcome. Glad to help. I've been using Sharpkeys for quite a while,
and have never run into any problems with it. I think it's a very
straightforward simple little program.

Someone else actually now has written (in another group,
microsoft.public.win2000.registry ) a key for me to add, and I'll go
in now and see if that's the same key SharpKey created.

This is a highly technical question; if this is the wrong group,
please point me to the right one:

Please tell me step by step what changes to make in the registry in
Windows XP to disable the "application key" which is the key between
the right Windows key and the right Ctrl key.

Our keyboard is constructed in such a way that we often mistakenly
press the application key while trying to press the right Shift
key. We never, otherwise, use the application key and want to make
it dead.


The keys I always want to disable are the Capslock key and the
Insert key, neither of which I ever want to use, and both of which I
sometimes press accidentally.

Sharpkeys, at http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/, is a useful
little program to disable or reassign keys like these.
