Disable combo keys?

[Curt M. Laven]

Well i tried it and i had no success. I tried to add the dword in the
.../policy folders, that didn't work. I added the key "NowinKeys" with the
dword NoWinKeys with a value of 1. No success, any ideas?

Add the following registry key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PoliciesExplore

r]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PoliciesExplor
er]

NoWinKeys

REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)

(0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)

The actual Windows Key that brings up the Start menu will still work though.
The change above requires a reboot.

Hi everyone, is there a way to disable the "windows" and "L" key combo to
lock a windows xp computer on my win 2000 domain? I've already locked the
lock option on the CTRL-ALT-DELETE screen. Any advice?

Thanks!

Try applying the same setting, but choose Binary value and enter the
information as 01 00 00 00

You can also apply this setting with TweakUI for Windows XP.
