How can I disable the backspace shortcut that makes IE go a page back?
I see many many posts on this from years ago but no answers yet.

There is javascript to delete the back links, though you will have to search
for the solution yourself.
There are Group Policy settings to remove the Back buttons and menu Items
from the IE Toolbar. Without the Back button and menu the keyboard shortcut
is disabled too. (gpedit.msc)

The normal keyboard shortcut for Back is Alt+rightarrow (see the View>Go to
menu in IE)
Do you have any toolbar add-ins that may be re-mapping your keyboard
shortcuts? The Backspace key on my puter has no navigation effects!

(well I don't think I
should be surprised at all!). I can remember being shown these shortcuts on
one of the first occasions I did web page development

Ah, but that is documented. Press F1 and search for Backspace? <eg>
