Various sites had a small utility that disabled the windows key. I'm trying to remember which,,,about all I can think of is the Thrustmaster site, which doesn't help, since I have no clue what has been transferred over to Guillemot. dave henrie Don Scurlock wrote:

Sorry, but what are you doing with a keyboard in GPL? // Johan Don Scurlock wrote:

Take the key off the keyboard. Fix a plastic sprue or similar into the hollow of the key, just long enough to prevent key being pressed. Try to re-attach to keyboard. If that works great. If you have difficulty in re-attaching key, leave it off Don Scurlock wrote in message <8EFFA49A0dscurlock@news>...

I use a steering wheel. One of the windows keys is between the Ctrl and Alt keys on the left side. When your online and want a fps or latency reading it's easy to accidentally hit the windows key and lock up the game. [email hidden] (Johan Foederer) wrote in <[email hidden]>:

The Windows Kernel Toys for Windows 95 from Micro$haft contains a "program" called "DosWinky", that allows you to disable the Windows Logo key in a DOS environment. I don't know if this will work with GPL since I haven't tried it and don't use the keyboard at all. I am using the LWFF profiler to map the ALT-F command to one of the buttons on the wheel.
