No Windows Key
Not everybody finds the Windows key useful. If you keep hitting it by accident and getting pop-up menus, boxes and actions when you don’t want them, you can disable it. It’s a Registry hack but it’s not difficult to carry out.
Click Start in Vista or Start, Run in XP and enter ‘regedit’ (without the quotes) to start the Registry Editor. Find the following folder on the left: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrenctVersion\Policies\Explorer. Right-click the empty space on the right and select New, ‘DWORD value’. Enter NoWinKeys, double-click it and enter 1 for the value. Quit the Registry Editor and restart Windows for it to take effect. If you ever want your Windows key back again, return to the value you created in the Registry, right-click it and select Delete.
