I play a game where I need to use the Alt key and the Tab key. And as you could imagine, I often acidently push them both at the same time, and it minimizes the game screen. There is no way to change the keys for the game.

I'm desperate, is there ANYWAY to disable the alt tab function in windows XP ?

See the last two posts in this thread:

I don't understand how to do it?
How do I edit the registry ? I don't know where it is.

Save this file as Enable Alt-tab.reg

CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"CoolSwitch"="1"

Save this one as Disable Atl-tab.reg

CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"CoolSwitch"="0"

Where do I save those at? and what do i use to make them. Errr I have no idea what I'm doing

I found the regedit, and I edited coolswitch to = 0

I then restarted my computer... but alt+tab still works???

Apparently that edit was pre NT. Sorry. You might try:

Otherwise it appears to be a tricky issue:

It looks like what you pointed out on line 78 is for internet explorer or something ?
