Disable Narrator shortcut key in Windows


I've install Windows 8 on a BootCamp macbook air The problem is that the command key located differently from the winkey in a normal keyboard, therefor, I keep clicking Winkey+Enter which starts the narrator (which is really annoying!)


Is there a way to disable this shortcut?



Answer



I have not tried it personally but here's what I found.



  1. Navigate to %systemroot%\System32

  2. In this folder a file called Narrator.exe is to be found

  3. Right click the file and choose Properties

  4. Choose the Security tab and press Advanced

  5. In the top of the window press Change to change the Owner permissions

  6. In the text field write your username and press OK to all the dialogs


Now you should be able to change the permissions of the file, this is where we remove all the permissions from your user and the user back to system, this way your user will not be able to start the Narrator.



  1. Right click the Narrator file again and choose Properties and Security

  2. Press Advanced

  3. Now that you are the owner you can change permissions for other users. Choose your own user and press Edit

  4. Remove the Read & Execute and Read permissions and press OK

  5. Now press Change in the top under Owner and write system in the text field

  6. Press OK to all dialogs
