Disabling keys using the Registry (WinNT)

    Hi guys,

    I want to disable the context-menu key under NT without using a TSR program to trap the keypresses.

    Under NT/9x you can disable the Win key using a registry key (easily found under searches).

    However, I've found nothing after extensive searching on the context-menu key. Anyone got any clues or links?

    Cheers,
    Al.

    dunno about NT but there is a program in 98 which switches these off. Can't remember the proggy though.

    Think it's msconfig? or mssetup? Lets you edit the System files, autoexec, etc and last tab has options to disable window keys.

    Would TweakUI have any bearing on it?

    Failing that, why not install a standard non-windows keyed keyboard?


    All the best,
