Delete the euro-sign (€) keyboard-shortcut (AltGr + E) via remapping the registry in windows

1

I'm trying to delete the AltGR + E shortcut for making a euro-sign via remapping in the registry in Windows.

I have found out that remapping in the registry is possible by searching some Stack overflow questions and found out that there is a Windows topic about the same issue. But I do not have the skills to code it myself :(

Has anybody tried something like this? or have a solution for doing this in the registry?

I'm on a Danish qwerty-keyboard on Windows 7. AltGR is the right alt-key on a danish keyboard.


Edit 19/07/13:

This is the KBDDA.dll file on my computer in the windows/system32-folder. It controls my Danish keyboard layout.

It has the following code:

What do I delete/change to get the AltGR + E shortcut to disappear?

(on hindsight, you can only change combination keys aka shortcuts via AutoHotKey software. But if you want to delete the AltGr key, do this:)

Always back up your registry via the File|Export command create a text file and call it DisableAltKey.reg and paste this into it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] "Delete Right Alt Key"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00,00,e0,38,00,00,00,00

Save it on your desktop, double click it, reboot and the AltGr key will do nothing.

The basis for this method I found here, they make it clear with pictures and colours. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-caps-lock-key-in-windows-vista/

Didn't work nor for Ctrl+Alt+E nor for AltGr+E. I still get the euro sign in both cases – rtrtrt – 2019-09-08T20:22:05.453

Thank you for the answer! I have yet to find a way to do this manually, so if anyone have the answer please reply! – Anders Holm – 2013-07-17T21:07:41.593
