Default How would you disable the Windows key from bringing up the start menu

Hi Paul,
Thanks. As you know, I researched first, so I know I can completely
*disable* the Windows key, but that's not what I want to do.

I want to only disable the windows key from bringing up the Start Menu.

I realize you probably assume that maybe one of the options in that article
(or in some of the ones I unearthed earlier) will have a *selective*
disable of the Windows key.

This may be the case. I'll check out the packages which I knew about
already, so that was my plan B all along if nobody knows.

Generally I don't ask a question if the answer is easy to find by looking
it up (despite Wolf K always assuming everything has an easy to find
answer).

It's ok if nobody knows how to selectively disable just the start menu from
coming up when the windows key is pressed. I'll figure it out over time,
or, perhaps, this may be one of the rare times I'll fail if there truly is
no way to do it.

In summary, I knew about Sharpkeys and the registry hacks before I had
asked this question - but - maybe there is something in them that will
*selectively* disable just the Start Menu from coming up.

Thanks.
