WHAT?

Most of us are not programmers and we don’t know how to ‘create a script’ which is WHY we come to websites like this.

I am a computer EXPERT, hardware, software and processes, but I have no talent for programming.

I am SO sick of those who HAVE the talents others NEED and then tell US to use
THEIR talents when you could SO EASILY create a tool, put a five dollar price on it and be an instant millionaire.

What a sick bunch some of you who have TALENTS really are.

No, you’re not.

The Windows Key is one of the WORST fails and we trusted you and others to fill the hole left by inept and uncaring Microsoft engineers.

The ‘tool’ microsoft had did what it needed to do, disable the Windows Key and then stupidly, moronically, INSANELY, @microsoft decides to REMOVE one of the most needed tools in COMPUTING.

Create a script to disable the win key with Autohotkey (Google it!). It’s not complicated at all, just read some of the basic information in the help file. They include a one line script to disable the windows key.

As others have stated, WinKey Killer does not work on Windows 8. It also lacks an uninstaller. The Microsoft Fix It 50465 is no longer available as it is unsupported. The Regedit instructions are not detailed enough. Never assume that the readers know anything about it. I would suggest that people make a Restore Point (it backs up the registry) before doing anything with this. I found a more modern open source program called “WinKill” that does the job as intended. I got it here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/winkill.html Btw, I am an acknowledged Windows Security Expert.
