Anyone know of a way to disable the WinKey+U combination? I'm always triggering it accidentally and it's very annoying.

Is there a way to completely remove the Utility Manager? That would be a perfect solution. I know I could probably do this with nLite but I don't want to do a new install.

Winkey doesn't help with this or WinKey+L.

Hey Ztruker Try go to your system32 folder. Find Utilman.exe Rename it Utilman.exe.old-ddmmyy (dd: day mm:month yy: year) That should take care of the shortcut. Abydos

Tried it before I posted, should have mentioned that. WFP (Windows File Protection) puts it right back, both there and in dllcache :(
