Windows Key -> Do Nothing
Hey,

I would like to use the Windows Key ingame. Problem Windows opens the Start Menu.

I want to keep the functions like Windows+E,.... so I don't want to overwrite it. Just want it to do nothing when normaly pressed.

This should be possible but haven't found a way yet.

You can't disable it and then have Windows Key + E and other shortcuts work.
Either you disable Windows Key, or leave it on.
Most keyboards have a Windows Key toggle switch though, so u can disable Winkey while in games to avoid accidentally switching back to Desktop.

Without downloading/using a 3rd party app to disable/enable Winkey, u can simply create a file switch of sorts, using Registry key:

First go to the entry and export the main so you can use that as an Enable.
Then once you disable Winkey in Reg, you can export that newly changed key so you can use that as a Disable.
