Windows XP: Disable 'windows keys' on keyboard

Post by gilthanaz »

[Problem]
You know this - you play shooters or other games on the keyboard, and often need the ALT or CTRL, SHIFT etc. keys - and every now and then you accidently hit those evil, useless, shitty, [..] windows buttons. Usually this tasks you out of the game, if you run full-screen, and thats specially a bad idea when you're playing on-line.

[Solution]
Save this as a .reg file and patch your WinXP:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,5b,e0,00,00,5c,e0,\
  00,00,00,00
