    Disable Windows Key.

    I can't count how many times I've lost SP because I logged myself out from accidentally pressing the Windows Key. Microsoft has a quick fix software if you're not comfortable fiddling with your registry. Follow the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216893

    You can also pop out your windows key.

    SE wants you to use workarounds but also not use them.

    I'm sure all of you are thinking it, too, but. . . when are they going to fix the problem instead of expecting us to?

    When enough people whine about it that SE take notice. I play windowed mode so I can spam my Windows key all day and not have issues.

    use this program to remap your windows keys to do nothing, I do this because I hate the windows keys period.

    MS fix is ok, but I like this one because you can remap your whole keyboard
