I have a tablet PC wtih OneNote. When I'm writing in OneNote, my hand rests inthe keyboard slightly and the PgDn key is pressed, which usually screws up my notes. Is there anyway to disable the PgDn and PgUp keys?

Maybe this can help. You have to download it http://annoyances.org/exec/software/mklc
PS. It's supposed to work on Vista too - although it does not say so.
You can also try this one. http://randyrants.com/sharpkeys/
Edit: Here is another one. http://charter.net/google/inde.....ntext=home Now you have choices. Good luck.

You could also use autohotkey to disable the keys fairly easily, just put this into a script:

PgUp::
Return

PgDn::
Return

Actually your best bet would be to use this utility to remap the keys around... you can even use it to disable keys you don't want:

The nice thing about the utility is that it maps the keys in windows, and doesn't require any software to be running.
