Is there a way to disable the "Properties" key on the keyboard (the one next to the "Windows" key) in the registry?

Seems to me that altering the registry to restrict keyboard use may be the long way around. If you do not want the user to use a 'properties' function on the keyboard, why not just replace the keyboard with one which does not have those keys? Keyboards are cheap. If you have a more expensive keyboard with additional features which you DO want to use (but just not the 'properties' function), did it come with control/configuration software? If so, you should install it and see what it offers as far as configuration options. If not, you may be able to purchase a keyboard which does have software included that allows you to enable/disable and/or re-direct certain features native to that brand/model of keyboard.
