It is also possible to disable this, and other keys, if using a Microsoft keyboard with the Intellitype driver.

Hello Dwarf,

Yes you sure can. To make it easy, you could also use a free program like SharpKeys to do this for other keys.

OR...

You can get a logitech gaming KB (like the G15) which has a switch to turn the key on and off when you are gaming or not

I use the key all the time at the desktop but switch it off when gaming.
