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!
Slobodan

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.

  • Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?

    Hi,
    Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?
    Thank You.

    Hi Kavin,
    You can try the below steps on the OWA server box,
    search for this file name in explorer
    File name: "messageoptionsdialog.aspx"
    open this file in notepad
    search for "chkbcc" you'll find something like this "input type="checkbox" id="chkBcc"
    you need to update the LINE BEFORE IT to <td style="visibility:hidden">
    Try this and let me now if this worked
    Although I've not tried this for the OUTLOOK client, you can try this and check if you need
    But this has worked for OWA for one of my client
    I'm also not very sure if this can be achieved on all of your outlook users from a server admin point of view, coz this is a client feature and not a user specific active directory attribute.
    Thanks & Regards

  • How to disable CTRL+ALT+S on Win8

    I have an HP notebook (Pavilion 17 or something) with Windows 8 64-bit.
    I mainly use it (and primarily bought it) to play video games.
    The shortcut CTRL+ALT+S (which opens system information) interferes with playing video games as I use those keys when doing so and far too often at the same time.
    How do I disable the CTRL+ALT+S shortcut?
    I mean besides a clean install of Windows without any HP programs, obviously.

    Hello @jdk21,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how you are looking to disable the CTRL + ALT + S combination on your notebook computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To disable this combination, I recommend performing a clean boot on your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on How to perform a clean boot in Windows. This should help boot your system with a minimal set of drivers and software, enabling your system to keep the settings changed with the keyboard combination.
    If the issue continues, I recommend following the steps below by proceeding to this file location:
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\HP Help and Support
    Right click HP Support Information
    Click properties
    Click the box next to shortcut key
    Hit backspace so the field says 'none'
    Apply
    Done!
    (Note, If you can't access the folder above you need to show hidden & system files. In a file explorer window click the view tab at the top, then click options on the right, select 'change folder and search options' if prompted. go to the view tab in the popup. check show hidden files, folders, drives. uncheck hide protected operating system files. apply)

  • How to disable "shift-option" from zooming out in InDesign?

    Hi all,
    This truly is driving me crazy...how can I disable the "shift-option" shortcut so that I do not zoom out in InDesign? I have searched through the keyboard shortcuts but cannot find where or how to disable this:( I use the shortcut a LOT when I am drag-copying something that needs to be on the same horizontal or vertical line as the the item I am copying from.
    Thank you so much in advance for your help,
    Christine

    I haven't had time to come back here and post a reply because I've been so incredibly busy working on a catalog. I do have to say that this zooming out is KILLING me and cutting heavily into production time. This was not happening in ID CS5 and only seems to have been happening with ID CS6. There is no third key and it doesn't seem to happen ALWAYS...so I am completely baffled. Normally it is when I shift-option drag an object. Sometimes even just option-dragging an object causes it to happen. I just don't know what is causing this or what I can disable to stop it from happening:(

  • 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.
    Thanks,
    CampSoup1988

    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.

  • HT201320 How to disable an account from an I-Pad? (Without the I-Pad...)

         How can you disable an account from an I-Pad without it? I have an email linked to an I-Pad that I cannot get a hold of anymore because it was my school's for a required project. I've been sending and recieving anonymous mail from it occasionally. I just changed the password and allowed a vertification for my email login, but I don't want to delete it, it's my primary email. Is there anyway I can disable the account without it? PLEASE HELP!

    Hold down on the app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X on the icon to delete it. Tap the home button when you are done.

  • How to disable save option from adobe toolbar in Acrobat Reader

    We need to disable Save option from Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer 8/9/10 version.
    Acrobat version is X.
    Is it possible to disable Save ( Floppy Disk) icon?
    We have disabled printing and copying.
    Please help

    You are, I'm afraid, chasing an impossible security that cannot exist. Many have sought this, but it just isn't there -- and there is so much more than the save button involved.
    If you are a big enterprise with sensitive information consider DRM solutions ($$$$+).

  • 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.

  • Keynote and Macbook - How to disable "play" key from starting presentation?

    I use Keynote to view lecture presentations with audio running in the background from the lecturer (in Quicktime 7) or music (in iTunes 9).
    As such, there are times when I need to press the play/pause keys on my Macbook Pro's keyboard since the audio may have gone past the point I've read on the slide.
    In Keynote however, hitting the "Play" key starts the presentation and stops the audio in the background.
    How can I disable Keynote from taking commands from the audio control keys?
    Thanks!

    Hey thanks. But, I tried.
    Where I hit the wall was, trying to figure out where in the menubar of the Quicktime app I could find the menu text for Play/Pause.
    There is no such thing.
    I need a menu command 'text' for this Keyboard shortcuts setting (sys pref) to work.
    So, because of this, I can't assign the Play command to quicktime to anything else.
    The default key is the Spacebar (Play/Pause) or the F7,F8,F9 in recent keyboard setup.
    For now, I just Cmd+Tab between apps when doing the transcript.
    True, I could use something else for transcript and then import text afterwards.
