    Eh the windows key is very convinient.

    Windows + R = Command Prompt
    Windows + D = Brings desktop up front regardless of whats going on.
    Windows + Break = System Information
    Windows + M = Minimizes everything
    Windows + Shift + M = Brings up all your minimized items.

    These are the ones I find most useful.

    Plus, you can use a program like Autohotkey to make the windows key work for tons of hotkeys. I don't find it annoying.

    Prior to saying why bother, I'd be curious to know the reason you want to disable it? Do you keep pressing it by accident or something?

    Plus, Windows + L makes it go to "log in" screen without shutting down any programs. I learned that from CNET :D.

    Your video is very "eye-catching", solag3 :D
