I don´t know a quick fix offhand, other then the good old "screwdriver trick" ;). But do a search or post a thread on the Xp section of http://www.annoyances.org/ It´s a good site for all kind of OS troubles.

Now that i think, i have never used the windows key. What a useless button. Thou the media buttons are almost as useless too, havent ever used them either.

Microsoft plot to ruin your games And they dont provide a way to disable it

They both require the use of a registry editor though. [URL=http://www.theeldergeek.com/windows_logo_key1.htm]First[/URL] [URL=http://windows.about.com/library/tips/bltip086.htm]Second[/URL] Unfortunately I can't test either, because my keyboard doesn't have 'windows'-keys. Would you believe, I still use the keyboard from my first own PC? And to think I bought it in 1991 :p
