Computer keyboard keys that are candidates for this interruption are the caps lock key (especially right before entering a password), the Windows key or the numlock key. There might be more keys that can interrupt a work flow but the three mentioned are probably the most common keys in such scenarios.</p><p>Killkeys is a portable software program that can be configured by filling out the ini file of the same name. The ini file contains two important lines that define which computer keyboard keys are disabled. The first line is called Keys and will disable the key all the time while the name of the second is Keys_Fullscreen which will only disable keys when the computer is running a fullscreen application.</p><p><span
id="more-14890"></span>The hex values of the keys have to be entered in the ini file. These hex values can be extracted <a

href="http://code.google.com/p/killkeys/downloads/list">Killkeys</a> will use about five Megabytes of computer memory while running in the background. It will automatically place its icon in the Windows system tray with the possibility to hide that icon from there. The only way to kill the process then would be to kill it in the task manager or a similar computer program capable of displaying and killing processes.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2009/07/29/disable-computer-keyboard-keys/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
