yes i've tried that it didnt help or work to the way i needed it

Well from what I see, it doesn't seem possible beyond that, but that is obviously why you are asking.

Can you tell us why you need to disable it? Maybe we can offer another solution.

I just had an idea. Its not the cleanest way but it might work: Detect when the windows key has been pressed, then use send keys to send the windows key which SHOULD close it.

ok i understand you idea but not exactely sure how to put in to code form can you please provide an example if posssible it might be somthing i've already tried

Try this, it works for me. I've attatched some project files with a .dll that will let you do it. You need to make a reference to the EventVB dll that I've included. Hope this helps.
