I have an ASUS Windows 7 home edition that has hot keys or short cuts turned on that make typing on the computer almost impossible. How do I turn of these extra keyboard short cuts or features?
Thanks

Check the Windows registry for the AppKey key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey
Rename the AppKey key to something like AppKeyX to disable all the app keys, or just rename the numbered subkeys you wish to disable
.
Also check to see what is in
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\MobilePc\HotStartButtons
Rename HotStartButtons or the numbered subkeys you wish to disable.
.
This may not disable all the hotkeys but should get most of them.
Make notes of this so you can re enable them later if you need to.

Can you be more specific as to what you mean? What hotkeys? Usually you have to hit the Fn key or something... – Shinrai – 2011-03-21T22:46:26.200
I am not hitting a Fn key, but typing and find data automatically deleted or other options I did not intend. It appears to have some type of quick keys embedded when purchased. Both ASUS computers new, different models, 64 bit, Windows 7 home edition. This is not a virus, but a feature that appears to be turned on, hope this helps. – JohnG – 2011-03-21T22:59:38.570
I've never used an ASUS branded machine but I can't think they'd be stupid enough to have key SEQUENCES of just letters and things bound to hotkeys. You must be hitting some kind of modifiers keys...or I'm going nuts. – Shinrai – 2011-03-21T23:07:21.323
Thanks, I am sure it is a combination of Shift key and something else, really a problem thanks. On the internet I find a number of complaints about Windows 7 Short cuts/hot keys /mouse functions but not help. Apprecaite the effort. – JohnG – 2011-03-21T23:09:51.883
1Found a note elsewhere, that suggested turning the mouse pad sensitivity down, that my palm may be toudhing the pad. It seems to work better now. – JohnG – 2011-03-21T23:19:24.230
