Disabling Windows Key while gameex is running.

[Brian Hoffman]

This was request by a couple users and I thought I'd un-bury it in case anyone else might find it usefull.

Run this program on gameex startup. If gameex is running it will disable the windows key. If it is not the app will not block the key and exit.

Will this disable other hot keys as well? I tried the Wobbly.exe file but everytime I start GameEx a little window pops up and says something like an older version of Wobbly.exe is running.

This is the second revision of the wobbly.exe

Make sure it isn't running as the old app does NOT close itself. Bkenobi called me out on my laziness

The app only blocks out the win key. If you want other keys blocked just let me know and I can put out a new version.

Just to point out you can bock keys per emu in the advanced config. This is more a global solution.

Err... I guess I could even do key combos like ctrl+alt+del or alt+f4

Thanks Brian I'll try this version I'm not sure what keys are doing it but sometimes when I try and do a key combo in Mame to pause,reset etc.. (forgot what I assigned those key combos to do) Ati catalyst settings window will pop up

If I were you Id just tell that ati app to not run on startup. You know the one that sites on the taskbar and is waiting for that hotkey press to bring up.

Oh yea thats a good idea I'll be sure to go into msconfig and have it not load up

I wasn't so much calling you out as poking fun
