In tip 0484, we disabled the Windows keys.
Keyboard remapping is controlled by the optional Scancode Map Value Name, a REG_BINARY data type, at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout.
The general format of Scancode Map is:
Bytes Data Description 0-7 0000000000000000 Header 8 XX A hexadecimal number defining the number of key remappings, plus 1. 9-11 000000 Always zerosEach subsequent entry is 4 bytes. The first 2 bytes are the remapped key code, or zeros to disable the key, and the next 2 bytes are the key code to remap.
The last 4 bytes are a trailer which is always zeros.
NOTE: If you are remapping keys, instead of disabling them, you might want to use the ReMapKey.exe freeware.
NOTE: Once you have defined Scancode Map, you must restart your computer to implement the defined remapping.
NOTE: To remove all remapping, delete the Scancode Map Value Name and restart your computer.
NOTE: Download the Keyboard Scan Code Specification.
