Disabling PrintScreen key (W2K)

[krutaw]

I was recently searching desperately for a way to disable the "PrintScreen" key from taking a screen shot. Well, persistance pays off, here's the registry entry to do just that:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Keyboard Layout

"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,2A,E0,37, E0,00,00,37,E0,00,00,54,00,00,00,00,00

Happy reg-hacking.;-)

Can you specify how to enter this info into reg.

Oefiske,
Copy & paste everything in bold to Notepad.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Keyboard Layout

"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,2A,E0,37, E0,00,00,37,E0,00,00,54,00,00,00,00,00

Name it DisPriSc.reg, or anything you find easy to remember - as long as it has the .reg extension. Save it to your Desktop. Then double click it to have it merged into the registry.
Hope it helps.
