Disable "F" keys on Windows 7 Pro DESKTOP PC
Hello,
I have a desktop PC that is functioning as a kiosk in a library. I spent much time configuring the Group Policy locking it down for minimal public use (Internet/library's online catalog only), but when testing, I discovered that simply hitting "F1" will get the help window to pop up and within 30 seconds I was messing around in the control panel!!!! You can also get to the command line this way. Grrr...Not that MOST of the users would try to do this, know how to, or even want to, but there is the possibility that I would like to remove.
How can I disable either the F keys, F1 or Windows Help in this user profile? I scoured the Group Policy and found nothing. It seems like a big waste of time going through all of those settings to just dismiss them immediately.
If I cannot disable, how can I re-assign what the F keys do? Is it possible to do so without using 3rd party software?
The PC is an HP Compaq 4000 Pro.
The Keyboard is a standard HP keyboard
Windows 7 Pro
Thanks!
