Disabling Windows key on Win2k Pro?

I found instructions on a site online to edit my registry so that the Windows key would be disabled as to prevent annoying minimizing during games. However the instructions didn't do anything and my registry appeared to be different from the one they were using. I think it was *supposed* to work on win2k, maybe not win2k Pro.

Can anyone tell me exactly how to do this on Win 2k Pro, or link to a site that does? I don't want to run any programs to do this, just edit the registry...

Nice, it worked. No more suprise visits to my desktop. Maybe I was following the instructions I had found right and just needed to that reboot to make it work...
