Start the registry editor (regedt32.exe) Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout From the Edit menu select New - Binary Value. Enter a name of "Scancode Map" and press enter. Double click on the new value and set to. 0000 0000 0000 0000 0300 0000 0000 5BE0 0000 5CE0 0000 0000 Do not type the spaces, I only include them only to help you view the data. Click OK. Close the registry editor and reboot the machine. Once the machine has restarted the Win key will no longer work. Alternative Method: You can automate this by placing the command in a regini file, create the file remove_win.ini with the following contents: \Registry\Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout Scancode Map = REG_BINARY 24 0x00000000 0x00000000 3 0xE05B0000 0xE05C0000 \ 0x0 To then run the script enter the command regini remove_win.ini Regini.exe is supplied with the Windows NT Resource kit. To re-enable the Win key delete the "Scancode Map" value you created. As a side note, I do not take credit for this method. It was taken from a message board text, but I do not remember what message board or website. | ||

This program will allow you to disable the Windows key. You can just use it while play Brood War, and then turn it back on after if you want. | ||

 and besides if you do and then fast as hell maximize again then you wont have lossed that much, since when you minimize the computer starts thinking and forgets about the game and then you start lagging and then when you've minimized BW starts again so if you maximize fast after the minimization then you probably ok, not saying this works if you have marines vs lurkers ^_^ | ||
