Disable all multimedia keys under Windows 7

Post by bskchaos »

Hi, I've just moved to Windows 7 and I need to disable all multimedia keys so they don't interfere with EventGhost.

I've always use the HID Plugin to handle everything and the keyboard plugin to kill those keys assigning them to a dummy macro, but under Windows 7 the keyboard plugin doesn't get anything from multimedia keys.

If not already done, you may wanna try:

or this

Run gpedit.msc, then locate (can't remember in witch section it is) an item with "Win-X", and disable it

I know it disables the Win-* shortcuts, maybe it works on Multimedia buttons too.
