I want to be able to either uninstall or disable the help from opening
in Excel as eveytime I press F1 by miss-take the help files open which
makes my computer hang for about 5mins while they load.

I have looked under Add/Remove programmes and then clicked on the
modity section but there isnt any option for removing them.

If this cant be done is it possable to remap the shourtcut key to
somthing else so that I dont keep hitting it.

Im using Office 2000 btw

Thanks in advance,

Maybe you could a line or two to your personal.xls (auto_open/workbook_open
procedure):

Option Explicit
Sub disableF1()
Application.OnKey "{f1}", ""
End Sub
Sub enableF1()
Application.OnKey "{f1}"
End Sub

Another option that Chip Pearson said he uses is to pop the F1 key out of the
keyboard.

I think you could remove the spring and put the cap back on--to make the
keyboard look nice again.

But that'll disable F1 for every application!
