Disable Windows Keys? is this possible?

[Monte Comeau]

I have a problem with a program that the members of our golf club use to
enter golf scores. The program runs full screen and users cannot exit or
use other programs without a password.

The problem is some of the brighter young members are using the Windows keys
to access the rest of the computer. Is there a way to disable these keys?
And to disable the cool switch (alt/tab).

Please try the following steps to disable the Windows key.

1. Click Start, click Run, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks),
and then click OK.

2. On the Windows menu, click "HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE on Local Machine".

3. Click the System\CurrentControlSet\Control folder, and then double-click
the Keyboard Layout folder.

4. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, type in "Scancode Map" (without the
quotation marks), click REG_BINARY as the Data Type, and then click OK.

5. Type "00000000000000000300000000005BE000005CE000000000" (without the
quotation marks) in the Data field, and then click OK.

6. Close the Registry Editor and restart the computer.
