Disable key combinations

[Guest]

I work in a school with 1500 students. There is a current trend among some
students to set the display to high contrast through either pressing the left
"Shift" 5 times or by pressing "Left Shift" + "Alt" + "Print screen". I have
disabled the use of the short cut "Left Shift" key but can not find a way to
disable the combination access aswell. Idealy I would like to disable only
this combination.
Anyone got any ideas!?!

Just disable the keys in Control Panel - Accessability.

Thanks for the tip David. Unfortunately I have already been there and done
that. The key combination is disabled for the first press but on the second
press it will open up the High contrast dialogue box that then allows access
to the accessibility functions!! This is not a major problem, but it does
take up valuable time resetting the display etc.

Doesn't XP have the option to "uninstall" the Accessibility Features in
Add/Remove Programs? Can't see right now as I'm on a Win2k3 server.

Hi Admiral Q,
Had a look at the add/remove section and add/remove windows components, can
not locate "uninstall accessibility features". As I said before, this is not
a major issue and it does not happen all the time. I guess I will just have
to put up with it for now....or remove the keyboards!!!!!
Thanks for the help,

You can do a search for sysoc.inf, open in notepad, find
AccessOpt=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,optional.inf,HIDE,7 and delete HIDE (leave the
commas), this will put Accessibility Options in add/remove windows
components and then you can uninstall options.

Also, found this website about removing it forever:

Hi Karl,
Many thanks for the info, it worked perfectly and has stopped the students
(god bless them) from wasting too much of my time. I only have to figure out
a way of stopping them from vandlising the mice and keyboards!!!!!!
