    After years of being hardcore MS-DOS, nowadays I like my windows key...

    Windows key + E = godsend
    Windows key > P > S > Enter > Enter > Enter = Launch Half-Life in half a second

    Never knew that. Windows Key and D also does the 'Show Desktop' thing. Very neat.

    Oh wait, I mean uh... Of... Course...! I knew that!

    the best part is... you can set it to only disable the key when doing something in fullscreen mode
    so you can launch hl with the windows key but not kill your sound because you tried to crouch

    I'd just like a way to disable the ctrl+esc combo during Half-Life.

    You can always add the commandline parameter -window x, where x = any standard screen resolution width.

    The only downside is a lowered framerate.

    I love how they actually charge for a deluxe version...

    <i>Can you get more greedy?</i>

    On the other hand, it's the only program of its kind... MONOPOLY! Cool find, thanks <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    what's windows key + E do? a girl spilled some sort of sticky liquid into my keyboard, so I had to downgrade to an olde-fashioned pre-windows-key model. ctrl-escape still does the start menu tho...

    anyway, the big problem I have with NS is that I have the alt key bound to the minimap... and sometimes, I'll try to check the teams while I'm holding alt... you know what I'm getting at =x

    Explores "My Computer". Quick, easy, and awesome, worthy of the monkey throne.

    I have no idea how that's done, but sometimes I hold alt for voice comm, and accidentally hit Tab or I forget I'm hitting Tab (for the scores) and hit alt...

    I dont know about this program, but I use wkeykill, which allows you to choose which combinations to keep and all that. Windows alone won't work, but windows e, windows d, etc still can work if you want it to.

    It can (copying the config options):
    -Disable the Windows key
    -Disable the Ctrl+Esc combination
    -Disable combinations like WinKey+E for Explorer and WinKey+F for Find
    -Disable the context menu key
    -Disable all system keys, including Ctrl+Alt+Del and Alt-Tab
    -Hide WinKey Killer from the Ctrl+Alt+Del/Close Program window
    -Display a message when WinKey Killer shuts down
    -Shut down WinKey Killer when run a second time
    -Use idle priority to minimize impact on system performance


    and it's available <a href='http://chorus.inav.net/~bjackson/WKeyKill.zip' target='_blank'>here (direct link)</a> on <a href='http://chorus.inav.net/~bjackson/' target='_blank'>this site</a>

    I suppose they're equivalent but I just don't feel like changing and don't know the options on the I Hate This Key program
