Anyone else have a problem with Alt-tab? Anyone know how to turn it off? Google didn't turn up anything, alas.

What exactly is your problem with ALT-TAB?

Only solution I can think of is to remap ALT-TAB to something else that actually does noting else.

How can I disable Alt-Tab?


Start the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Double click on Coolswitch
Set to 0 and click OK
Close the registry editor
You need to restart the computer for this to take effect.

awww.. you guys rock. I spent a good hour searching and didn't turn anything up.

*edit*
I need to turn it off for a few minutes so I can map a tapzone on my synaptics touchpad to do alt-tabs by simply tapping
