Tweak!

Enterprising user Lazar Zoltan has discovered a registry tweak to disable the Windows keys (and thus avoiding the “stuck” key problem while using RDesktop.  This only disables the keys on Windows – not on the Amiga side.

You can insert the following into your Windows registry (Windows XP only) by pasting the text below into a file named Disable_Winkey.reg and then executing it on windows by double clicking.  It should automatically go into the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] “Scancode Map”=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,5b,e0,00,00,5 c,e0,\   00,00,00,00

If you want the “quick and easy way” then just download and unzip the file from this link:  Disable WinKey Registry.   Once unzipped just double click to run.  You may need to restart Windows.

Thanks Lazar!
