I'd like to know which version of Windows has that option. None of the versions I've seen let you do that.

@Michael: sorry, but I can't think of a way to disable it short of physically removing it from the keyboard. You could always try remapping the keys used for JJ2 to shift your fingers away from the windows key (I had to do that once as a KVM switch I used used Ctrl as it's hotkey). Alternatively, you may be able to find a utility online to change the behaviour of the windows key.

I searched but didn't fidn a utility. I am almost sure I had this feature on my old ocmputer so it's weird, but if you say the option doesn't exist then I trust you...
Anyone know a good place besise google to find this kind of utility?

*thinks*... there might have been something in the Kernel Toys for Win98 that would let you remap keys. Google for kernel toys.

A little old but I wrote a small utility for when I played Unreal Tournament a lot... http://www.adamhearn.co.uk/kak/files/WinKey1-1.zip

As long as it's running, it'll disable both Windows keys by default. You can re-enable them by click on the menu option (utility adds a System tray icon). It's very small util.
