Any way to remove WK-U shortcut?

[Maureen Goldman]

I've accidentally triggered the WK-U shortcut to the utility manager
several times. Don't need a magnifier, narrator, or offscreen
keyboard. Also, once turned on, even when I exit the program,
utilman.exe remains in the task manager until I end the process.

For several years, first with Win98 and now with XP, I've used a
Windows Key shortcut program called Winkey. WK-U is\was a built-in
shortcut for dial-up networking. Although I've removed it from my
current Winkey settings because of the conflict, it's easy to return
to old habits.

Any way to kill the shortcut? TIA.

Oh come on, you know you love hearing "Foreground Window"! ;-)

I installed Winkey a while back with XP and the built-in Windows
functionality did indeed remain. I'm going to say that you'll have to learn
a new shortcut combo, unless Microsoft publishes a tool to remap Windows key
shortcuts.

Again, I want to remove the built-in WK-U shortcut because I'm
accidentally triggering it. I don't care about using that shortcut for
anything else.

I suppose one solution would be to change the name of utilman.exe to
something else like utilman.exf, but I'm not awfully keen on doing it
that way.
