Disable the control key for the Start button in Windows XP

Hello. I would like to turn off command for the Start button (I mean the left button located on the bar of Windows XP tasks); How can I do? Thanks in advance.

PS: I use VMware Fusion for mac 2.0.1 and the virtual machine is Windows XP SP2 32 bit. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard).

I tried a long time ago and it didn't work.

I was annoyed, but this thread made me take another look.

Try this:

map the command/apple key control rather than delete the assignment.

It also fixed annoying command + s failure to save most of my applications.

  • Google web toolkit plugin for firefox (1.23) disables the back button of the browser. How do fix us this?

    I have Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for firefox (1.23). It worked for me, but I recently discovered that in my browser back button has been disabled. By trial and error, I discovered that it's the GWT developer Plugin that is the culprit. When I disable the plugin, the previous button starts working again. When I re - activate the plugin, the back button stops working. Has anyone else encountered this problem? My firefox is version 19.0. Anyone know what would cause the plugin to start to disable the back button?

    Have you tried to use Firefox 23? This is the version you should be running.

  • HP Pavilion X 2 11-h003sa keyboard and the start button

    I have a Pavilion X 2 11 - h003sa running Wwindows 8.1. It's less than a week and without any changes to the system (no software update or driver installs) after a restart, the Start button stopped working and when I try to dock with the keyboard, the start on the tablet button remains lit (but unfounded) and the keyboard does not work. By that, I mean the key and the trackpad do not react, are not all usb devices, and even the charger shows not only plugged into Windows. The orange charging light lights well.

    Weirdest part is the only thing that works - he always knows when the laptop is closed with the connected keyboard.

    Any suggestion or help here would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    James

    Hello, James.

    Your X 2 is perhaps responsible got stuck on something, he is unable to perform; This problem can be self-correcting after a full stop and normal reboot of your tablet. Since it is not always easy to determine the power state of a Tablet, I suggest you make sure that is turned off by pressing the power button for 10 seconds, then release. wait another 10 seconds then press the Windows Start button. You should not feel any momentary vibration when you press the Windows key. When you are certain that the X 2 is turned off, try to start normally. I hope that your tablet will resume its normal operation, but if not, I suggest you contact your region (UK?) HP support because several interactive steps may be needed to determine the cause & fix for your problem; which can lead to a very lengthy process if attempted by the rear "n" following exchanges of the forum.

    Find your HP contact information & support options by scrolling to the bottom of this page, to this you see "On HP" on the left. Click on "Contact us" just below this to see the choices to your selected region or country...

     

    I hope you come back soon with news that your tablet is running normally. However, we will also try to answer questions if necessary.

     

    Good luck!

    Hello!

    I had a somewhat similar to this problem and that's what I tried.

    He temporarily stabilized my problem but I have a serious type of divorce

    problems with my beloved once Windows 7. However, in your case, it may be

    the solution.

    This is the procedure:

    (1) power on your PC or laptop

    (2) when he started, start pressing and releasing the F8 key till you get the windows

    Fix the Page (I don't remember the exact name, but it's a screen with many options).

    (3) among the options is "Last known good Configuration", click it. See if that fixes the problem.

    (4) If this does not work, then you need to try other options, namely:

    (A) the Startup Repair

    (B) the system restore

    (C) verification of memory

    (D) command prompt:

    (The last option would have been a godsend, but it does not work in the console command prompt.)

    I'll tell you about it...)

    If all the above methods fail, try this method (it worked for me temporarily). This method is an option only when you

    are able to access the above page and when you have administrator privileges. Then, when you're on the screen above, you will see these options:

    Safe mode

    Safe mode with network

    Choose the second option. If all goes well, you will be at the level of the office. On the desktop, right click the command prompt icon. If you don't have a shortcut cmd, no problem. Press start and type cmd or command. Right click on cmd and then click "Run as Administrator".

    * Now in the command console, type chkdsk/f/r (the space after the chkdsk command is optional). You may get a message that you can schedule chkdsk at the next restart, treatment is (Yes).

    Then, in the same type of console sfc/scannow. If all goes well, it will rectify errors of all the files on your system.

    Note: If you please ensure that your battery is 100 pc loaded before you try it. or better yet, let him charge while you do this.

    Keep me posted.

    All the best!

    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
