Hello
Thought you might be interested if anyone simply wants to disable the Winlogo keys (which I do when my little niece plays her games which disable the keyboard but won't disable the Winlogo keys).
At Doug's Windows Hints & Tips there's a couple of little reg's to download - one disable's the Winlogo keys (restart PC to take effect) and another re-enable's the Winlogo keys (again restart PC to take effect).
Good for people like me who don't have the foggiest about the registry. I use these all the time when she and other children come to visit and play their games.

P.S. You have a helpful site indeed!

Is there any ways to disable individual keys in the std QWERTY keyboard? Or any softwares ie user friendly that can perform the task? Thank you.

Is there any way I can disable keys for a specific user on 98se?

I'm not sure. If any of the programs mentioned in the article are things that are added to the startup group, then certainly you could add it for one user (login account) and not another.

I tried out KeyTweak, it worked great

Check out KeyboardControl SDK at http://www.meliorasoft.com/kits/
It allows that and much more, highly recommended.

Does anyone know where to get a program where one quickly can disable defined keys and quickly restore them again?

Example I would like to disable all but space and arrows.

Hello. I have one question about
something. I've got IBM notebook ThinkPad R51. Problem is keyboard
is very different. Here is keys FN, CTRL, ALT, SPACE... Because I
have many macros with CTRL and SHIFT and CTRL is in other place (in
Windows keys place). My question is: do exists program where I can
change places for this keyboard keys if it is possible? I like do
it in desktop keyboards style. I mean: FN = CTRL CTRL = Windows
key. If you can, please, answer me. Many greetings from Kosova.
