If you work on your PC and do major amounts of typing you will find that the windows key (located between the CTRL and ALT keys) will get you into lots of trouble. You'll be halfway through typing an email or a letter and you accidentally hit the windows key and boom you've got a menu in your face. Well if you would like to kill the windows key...here it is!

Open regedt32 to create this key so that you can copy and paste the binary value in.
