I took a quick peek at the Windows key issue, and this seems to work:

First you need AutoHotkey[ahkscript.org] installed.
Edit a plain text file (Right-click - select New - Autohotkey Script, is the simplest). Then make this little script.

~LWin Up:: Return

And thats it! At least to disable the left windows key. If you also need to disable the right one then make another line with "~RWin Up:: Return".

Then all you need to do is to doubleclick that file, and AutoHotkey will run in the background, executing it (Or you may compile it).

Or, yet another solution is to pop that windows key :)

and now i dont crash the game if i hit the windows key in dosbox games..and will work to all dos box games

Well all I did was knowing about AutoHotkey, and googling a little bit :)

Turns out Its even mentioned in AutoHotkeys manual on the page for Hotkeys[www.autohotkey.com] (scroll two lines up to see it). So it's not really a script but more of a functionality of AutoHotkey.

(I originally found this ahk thread[www.autohotkey.com] with a post by "uogpjf" that had this solution (from 2010)).


Btw, I forgot to mention that this still allows for windows key + shortcut key to work, for example Win+r for the run box, or Win+e for windows explorer, etc. (As only the key-up event is blocked).


As for a making a guide about it, I'm not sure what more to say.

To disable both Windows keys:

~LWin Up:: return
~RWin Up:: return

Just right-click and choose "New - AutoHotkey script" (after installing AutoHotkey[ahkscript.org], ofc), edit it (Notepad works) and copy-paste the above into the file and save it. To use, double-click it and then AutoHotkey starts running that script.

Once started, it sits in the "notification area" by the clock, and if you need to stop it, just right-click the AutoHotkey icon and choose exit.
