I need to disable the windows shortcut keys... like <ctrl
c> to copy. How come I cannot find a control panel item
or anyway to set or change the shortcuts? I already
disabled the worthless "windows key". How lame is that
thing... anyway I need to stop Windows from calling the
start menu when I press <ctrl>+<esc>. This causes the
program I am running to crash since it cannot loose full
screen control without shutting down. Why has MS not
given us these options? Or a am I just missing something?
 
| stop Windows from calling the start menu when I press <ctrl>+<esc>.

If you are running a "DOS-CMD" application program that was launched from a Windows shortcut,

right-click on that shortcut
click | Properties |

/Misc\
"Windows shortcut keys"
[_] Alt+Tab [_] Ctrl+Esc [_] Alt+PrtSc [_] Alt+Space
[_] Alt+Esc [_] PrtSc [_] Alt+Enter

Define "lame".

You are baselessly asserting an accusation, and then casting self-doubt about it.

It would be more productive to ask...

"Has MS given us these options?"

Improve your attitude!

not exactly baselessly... I searched through Windows
options for a long time before I ever even posted here. I
figured out for myself how to disable the "lame" Windows
key, and I prefer to figure things out on my own. It just
seems to me that the OS should have the options in it to
change things like keyboard shortcuts. They try to make
everything else so wizard-ish and menu driven... why is
there no easy option for this?

Relax on your analysis of me... I don't have a bad
attitude except for when it comes to things... little
things... like this. Things that SHOULD be there and are
not as far as I can tell. Not where even a qualified MCP
would know to look.
 
Thanks thats really helpful. Hate advise like that. If it
was that simple I wouldn't BE HERE POSTING. Be helpful or
don't post.
 
Trust me I use even the "worthless" Windows key a bit
myself... but when i set a program to maintain full
control of full screen despite what goes on in the
background, and then WinXP decides its more important
with its Windows menu, i have to kill it. Just for this
one instance. And its the fact that I have to save and
load and reload registry entries by hand to do this that
is upsetting. A more complete keyboard control panel icon
is certainly needed for those of us whose daily computing
needs demand that certian interfaces be stable, and
completley un-interuptable. Haven't been able to get that
yet out of a WinXP box.

this is the first request for this in the past year.
not likely to happen with only one per year.
