    Hi there, I tried this... but I dont really want the Windows key to be disabled... what I really want is to disassociate this key with the start menu..
    That is because I use the Windows key in another program assigned to an action... know what I mean??

    Thanks a lot

    Hello Amoretam,

    I'm sorry, but I'm not sure that's possible.

    Can I suggest a third party program for this? You can prevent the windows key from opening the start menu (but still working with win+key shortcuts) with the rather well known classic shell. Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements

    Run Classic start menu settings, go to controls, under Windows Key select "nothing".

    Not sure if it'll mess with anything else automatically, and it does integrate into windows to do its thing.
