keyboard disable select all key

My father has an emachine keyboard and the select all key is located on the
right hand side of the keyboard under the shift key and to the left of the
control key. When typing one can accidently hit the select all key while
hitting the shift key and then the next key stroke brings up the option menu
with the undo option highlighted, the next key stroke highlights all that
you've written, even pages of documention, and the next key stroke deletes
all and you have a blank page in front of you after all your hard work. This
key should never have been placed in this location - how can one turn off the
key function so that it is inoperable? PLEASE I HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS
AN ANSWER. THIS IS NOT A MICROSOFT ISSUE BUT A POOR DESIGN OF THE EMACHINE
KEYBOARD AND EMACHINE - I.E. GATEWAY - IS OF NO HELP WHATSOVER!

Hey Carlos,

Thanks - I am not computer savvy enough for what you sent me - but my
husband is - when he gets back I will show him the website and see if he can
use the info you suggested. Thank God a friend suggested control Z to
restore after the select all wipes it away AND THAT DOES WORK TO RESTORE.
THANKS AGAIN.
