On my new Dell system, it's got a cardreader. More to the point, it's
got
an idiot menu key... *right* next to the right control key, and just where
the annoying keyboard design has it cut down from the oversize space bar
ASCII art
<ctrl><WinDoze> <tall[ ]<tall<tall<tall
<ctrl>
Alt>[ tall spacebar ] alt> Win> menu>
The result is that just trying to type, I regularly hit the thing. Does
anyone have an idea how to disable this forever (if y'all don't, I'm
prying the key *off*).
Thanks in advance.

Use an abundant amount of glue to disable it :-) best regards --- Michael Schumacher PAMAS Partikelmess- und Analysesysteme GmbH Dieselstr.10, D-71277 Rutesheim Tel +49-7152-99630 Fax +49-7152-996333 Gesch?ftsf?hrer: Gerhard Schreck Handelsregister B Stuttgart HRB 252024
