disable the shortcut keys in Windows 8?

First of all, I think that Windows 8 is the biggest mistake since the new Coke - but whatever it is, I'm stuck with it on my HP laptop. I found the software Shell to bring up my menu good ol' start ', but what I hate more than anything, it's a) SEDUCES *, it pops up when you want, but when you want it - cannot b) when I type and use the Y key, random CHARMS * appears and I have to stop working , then click on elsewhere in my document to close and return to my document/email. I found ShellClassic to address the frustration of the start menu, but I can't find why or how to solve the key problem of Y. I installed SkipMetroSuite which helped a little, but it doesn't - I have to reinstall every time I read MS has found a way to kill him - thank you to win my professional and social life on my new laptop of his life *.

When I type and use the button Y, randomly CHARMS * appears

It looks like a hardware problem.   So, what kind of mouse you have?   If it's a touchpad, consider getting a real mouse and disable the Touchpad.   So the only way the charms bar would appear is when you moved your pointer to a wing or pressed Win - C (or a more specific keyboard shortcut that opened a particular "charm").   The latter is the most reliable method to use the "charms" (without reliable touchscreen support) IMO.

  • Satellite Pro P - how to disable the hot keys for camera assistant?

    Is it possible, and how, to disable the shortcut keys for the camera wizard?

    The default keys interfere with shortcuts of Microsoft Office (Word) - for example Alt + F9 to show/hide codes field to turns on the properties of camera assistant, Alt + 10 screen settings of camera etc.

    I find this very frustrating.

    Hello

    Of course you can turn it off.
    You must remove the software from the camera in msconfig start up.

    So go to start-run-msconfig online online
    Go to the Startup tab and disable the camera software. Restart the computer laptop and that s all!

    Good bye
