    I don't believe you can. There's a keyboard customizer utility under Thinkvantage, but that more controls alternative keys to the Windows key, etc, it doesn't seem to let you disable keys.

    I never use them, but I occasionally hit them while shooting for the arrow keys, guessing that's your experience as well :) I am a Alt-Left Arrow (Back), Alt-Right Arrow (Forward) guy...

    Actually, it does. At least in my case (IBM X31).

    Oh yea, I was posting in a discussion for school and I went for the left arrow key and hit the back browser instead. I lost about three paragraphs.....needless to say I was angry.

    Nice, I overlooked that. Thanks!!!
