Disable CTRL + R on windows

How can I completely disable CTRL+R (call) Skype's keyboard shortcut on Windows 8.1?
(it is very annoying - working in webdevelopment and using the same keyboard shortcut to reload the browser)
Already done:
Settings -> Keyboard shortcut turn off

These shortcuts are not defined in Skype's keyboard shortcut, but are in-build accelerator shortcuts; at least in the latest Skype versions. As far as I can see, they have already been available in Skype 6.9 but are not present in 6.6.

How to disable CTRL + ESC from regedit?

Hello,
I have an issue and need to disable ctrl+esc in Windows 8. I found some FixIt to do that but it's only for Windows 7. I know that in previous version it was possible (per example with changes in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell] "DisableCtrlEsc"=dword:00000001).
Thank you in advance,
Best regards!

I am afraid there is no official method to disable Ctrl+Esc.

There used to be a win32 call for it, so if you want it you'll need to go back to C/C++ and do JNI, provided it is still in the API.

How to disable ctrl+backspace

I would like to know how to disable the ctrl+backspace command to log out of solaris. I am used to ctrl+backspace in windows allowing you to delete the last word you typed and I keep press that shortcut out of habit and loose my work.

It's built in to the X server. I don't think you can disable this via X resources.
You might be able to do a command-line login, then run your own X server (point it at a copy of xorg.conf in your home directory). But that's a lot of work.

How can I disable the access to windows 2000(O.S.) from LabView?

I need to disable the access to windows when an application (exe), created by LabView, is running. When the application is running, the user can not acces to windows (for example, execute another application) until he stops the application.
I am using LabView 6.1 and windows 2000
Many Thanks

Hi Francesc,
There are a couple of options for this. One of them could be calling Windows OS activex components and making the Desktop invisible through labVIEW and then bringing it back on after the LabVIEW execution is stopped.
The other option is to modify user settings on the target machine. I have tried this on windows 2000 and it works.
Run "gpedit.msc" from your start menu. In the Group Policy template choose the user configuration that you wish to make the settings for. Expand User Configuration , expand Administrative Templates , and then expand System. Choose 'Custom user interface'
In this panel select 'Enabled' and enter the interface file name, in this case C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Labview 6.1.exe. (or your own filepath\App
lication.exe). Reboot the machine.
This replaces the default windows shell (explorer.exe) with your LabVIEW executable. When the operator logs on, the only thing on his screen is the Labview application. No desktop, no taskbar, no start button.
This can also be done through LabVIEW using register-level programming. But it would be a more complex approach.
Hope this helps.

How do I disable zip folders in Windows 7?

I like to use a third-party archive application, so I really don't like how by default Windows makes zip files expand automatically in Windows Explorer and show up in the folder view.
So... How do I disable zip folders in Windows 7?
In XP and Vista, I was able to find solutions to remove this "feature"
In XP, I simply did...
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
In Vista, I had to remove a couple registry entries:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Disable ZIP support in Windows Vista
; restart Windows after applying this patch
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}]
I don't want to guess and delete the wrong registry entries if someone else knows which ones I need to remove.

EDIT - I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION
After considerable browsing (thank you, Google), I have a solution that works. It is based on fixes for Vista, but works 100% for my Windows 7 64-bit install.
You will need to edit your registry (delete 2 different keys), so I highly recommend you back up your registry or better yet, make an image of your OS drive (probably C:\). I use Norton Ghost 2003 (only from a NG 2003 boot floppy) and have never had a single problem. Norton Ghost does not have to be installed on your system for this to work (in fact, it will stall due to compatibility issues).
First a note regarding the various reg tweaks that are available for download (e.g., "vistaunzip.reg"). These will NOT work - undoubtedly due to ownership/permissions issues.
The following two (2) keys need to be deleted fromthe registry:
For zip files delete the regkey
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}
For cab files delete
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}
When you try to delete them, you will almost certainly get an "access denied" or "failed" type of message. Before you can delete them, you need to change the permissions/ownership of these two keys. Here is how to do it:
01 - open regedit from the RUN console
02 - navigate to the first key that needs to be deleted (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0- B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31})
03 - right click on the key and select "Permissions"
04 - click on "Advanced"
05 - click on the "Ownership" tab
06 - in the "change owner to" section, highlight your username
07 - check the box for "replace owner on subcontainers and objects"
08 - click on "Apply"
09 - Click "OK"
10 - Under "Security" tab, highlight your username and check the box for "Allow Full Control" (located mid-menu in the "Permissions For Administrators" section)
11 - click "Apply" and "OK"
12 - you can now delete the registry key. MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE CORRECT KEY!
13 - repeat the process for the 2nd key.
14 - reboot (changes will NOT take effect until you reboot
15 - VOILA! NO MORE ZIP FOLDERS! woohoo!
16 - thanks to the original solvers of this problem, whomever they may be.
I would like the same help that deedvd is seeking. How do I DISABLE the
zip folder function? I do NOT want my zip files to appear as "folders".
Why anyone in Redmond thought this was a brilliant idea is beyond me.
It adds to clutter and makes file browsing a lot less enjoyable. I
simply want my zip files to appear as files - with the ".zip"
extension. Just like every other file. The responses to deepdvd were
probably as frustrating to him as they are to me. Changing the default
program for zip files is IRRELEVANT. It only changes whether Windows or
some third party app (7Zip, Izarc, etc) OPENS the files. They continue
to show up as folders. I tried the unregister script (earlier thread)
"Running regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll should be enough to disable zip functionality. Then just run your 3rd party archite application and let it re-register archive files." and it did not work. I got the same error that deeddvd got "The module "C:\Windows\system32\zipfldr.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found.
Make sure that "C:\Windows\system32\zipfldr.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."
I would love to find a resolution to this problem. If anyone out there knows how to DISABLE the zipfolder function, please post the solution. I am thanking you in advance.

Disabling opening of multiple windows and tabs

Hi experts,
do we have any option to disable opening of multiple windows and tabs. Like making end user to use single window browser to do all operations.
Regards
Govardan Raj S

HI Rajendra ,
Actually if end user access the portal in a browser window , and if he opens another window i.e file->new window --- same portal applications will open in the new window with the same credentials and hence here i should either restrict him or log off the user in both windows.

How to disable Ctrl-F on PDFs

For those of us who create .PDFs that students will use during open-book tests, it would be helpful if we could disable the Ctrl-F function.
I know that if I save the .PDF as a jpeg or something similar, Ctrl-F becomes disabled, but for various reasons that's not a route I'd like to take.
According to a Google search today, there have been a bunch of educators / training managers trying to disable Ctrl-F.
thank you
curt

There is no sure proof way to eliminate searching for information on a regular pdf file by embedding something into the pdf using standard Acrobat technology---which is why you have put in a feature request. Most approaches that don't rasterize a pdf will not work. The student could use a different pdf-reader or disable javascript, if you are trying to limit searching functionality.
There might be a way using an Adobe Livecycle product, you could check the LiveCycle forums, but if that would work we are talking about an very expensive product that requires the use of a server.

How can I disable taskbar transparency in windows 8 RTM?

how can I disable taskbar transparency in windows 8 RTM?

Seems to me there's very little merit in the colors of the High Contrast themes! :-)
Try it this way instead:
Right-click on the desktop and choose Personalize.
Select an Aero theme first.
Save a new named theme with a name something like "Aero Lite"
Navigate to the following folder and edit the .theme file just created:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
Scroll down to the [VisualStyles] section near the bottom.
Change the Path= filename from Aero.msstyles to AeroLite.msstyles
In Personalize, go select another theme then this theme again.
That gives you this:
Only downside I've seen so far with this is that when dragging and dropping things in File Explorer the icons that appear with the cursor are no longer partially transparent, so you end up have to guess just a little where you're dropping them.
