Disabling keyboard Windows key (START key).

[MCS]

The only time I use this key is when I accidently hit it
playing games, which usually locks the game and I have to
refresh. I found an Microsoft article (#256986) that
shows how but says it applies to 2000 and NT servers and
workstations and I'm using XP Home. It also requires
messing with the registry and carries dire warning about
screwing up your system. Anyone know about doing stuff
like this? Yeah, I know, I could just get a cheap
keyboard without the key }.
