Winkey (remap) question

[CyberPsychosis]

I don't want to totally disable my windows key, I just don't want it to bring up the start menu, I would also like to be able to remap built in windows hotkeys such as win-f1.

Problem: I play Final Fantasy XI, it can only be run in full screen mode. If you hit the windows key at any time during the game it will boot you from the game server and bring you back to windows. This is bad because CTRL and ALT are keys I use ALL the time in game, and having a key nestled between them that can instantly disconnect you from the game is dangerous.

I am using Macro Express, and since I now have more spells then I can handle with my alt-fkey, ctrl-fkey, ctrl-alt-fkeys I would like to do some win-fkey combos. Macro express will let me do this, even win-f1 the problem is it doesn't deactivate whatever win-hotkeys are hardcoded into windows. So win-f1 will still bring up the help screen, etc. I would like to keep the windows key on the keymap, what I don't want it the windows key to remain attached to bringing up the startmenu, etc. Can this be done?

If not is there a way to remap the windows key to do a ctrl-shift? I can remap it to do ctrl or shift, but have not found a way to have it do both.

What you want is something like this. You can disable the Windows Key during games and terminal services, but it works perfect the rest of the time. I just grabbed it myself this week. Last week, I kept hitting the dang key while playing CoD and it was driving me nuts having all those dang Krauts fill me fulla lead while I tried to get back into the game. Worked like a champ.
