Windows keys in FF *( and one other little annoying thing )

I am not sure if I am posting in the right place, but here goes..

The game plays fine, I have played before several years ago, always on american server, but I am in england, I stopped playing as I changed jobs and had 5:30am starts gmt, which is basically when the servers used to fill up. Now I work better hours, enough of the waffle..


As I said the game plays fine, except I keep hitting the windows keys, and the game returns to the desktop, most of the times in the heat of battle, i return to find myself dead and looking in the air.
I don't remember having such troubles when I used to play

Is there a way of disabling the windows keys in config files, I have spent about an hour looking through posts, to no avail.

also while I am here, how do I disable the tips... I found what I thought what was to do with the tips in the config.cfg but no.

The only reason I bought half life 2 so long ago, was to play this mod, I still have not looked at team fortress 2, as valve can think what they like, this is the progression of TFC !!

Thank you in advance for any effort to help me kill again !

I just popped that key off my keyboard.

You can also disable tips either in your options or fortress options, I forget which.

thank you for the quick help.
I thought there was something in the game itself to disable the windows keys, popping the keys off is also good, as they are really only in the way.

It's...right next to the crouch key, and just under the shift key.

The only time I'd ever hit the windows key is if I screw up where my hand goes, and try to move with ESDF instead of WASD :L

If you have your hand over WASD, you have to slide it out of the way to hit the Windows key, so I don't see why how you'd manage to do it anyway.
