I was holding off upgrading my old 101 key keyboard, but fate and a glass of water came calling last week. :( :D

Anyway, these fargin Windows keys(I assume) are ticking me off! My problem seems to be mostly here at AT where I am typing away a message then suddenly I look up and see that what I was typing was deleted. :|

Is there a way in WinXP or some utility to disable the Windows Keys?

Any suggestions are appreciated. :)

Just use a screwdriver and pop it off. That's what I used to do, now I actually use that key :confused:

There is a program called WinKey Assassin (freeware) that makes a popup disabling the Windows key and ALT-F4 combo. I use it in Diablo II to prevent accidentally hitting the WinKey from causing a diaster. Here's the link (its towards the bottom of the page):
