How to disable AltGr in Win7?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am supporting a user that can't type and consequently often hits AltGr (on the right side of space-key). He has enough power to decide he wants to disable that key (instead of learning to type). and he asked me to quickly get rid of that key
The only way I found was using KbdEdit and map AltGr to "KANA" (How to) but unfortunately that does not behave as promised. I am waiting for support from the developer, but thought that meanwhile I should see if anyone of you has better suggestion how to address this.

get something pointy and painful enough to stick on his altgr key. that way he'll learn not to press it.

Use an app like SharpKeys to map the key to an unused one such as F12 for example.

I would recommend SharpKeys:
SharpKeys is a Registry hack that is used to make certain keys on a
keyboard act like other keys. For example, if you accidentally hit
Caps Lock often, you could use this utility to map Caps Lock to a
Shift key or even turn it off completely. This official release
includes support for up to 104 mappings, an extensive list of
available keys, and a "Type Key" option to help when managing
mappings.
I have not used it personally, but know someone who has used it in the past and is quite happy with it.

You might want to get The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator.
There you Load existing Keyboard... (from File-Menu), select the language and design your user prefers, delete any bindings to keys with the Shift states of AltGr. Then you Build DLL and Setup Package (from Project-Menu) and afterwards install your individual keyboard design to the target machine.

Thanks guys. MS KLC was also an idea I considered, but as I only wanted to disable that simple key, it seemed too much work to create a separate layout etc.
I finally found "keytweak" (here: http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/ ) and that has an easy switch "disable key" which quickly fixed the problem. :)

I'm using the keymapper program to accomplish this. It lets you remap and disable keyboard keys using a virtual keyboard.

Thanks guys. MS KLC was also an idea I considered, but as I only wanted to disable that simple key, it seemed too much work to create a separate layout etc.
I finally found "keytweak" (here: http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/ ) and that has an easy switch "disable key" which quickly fixed the problem. :)

I'm using the keymapper program to accomplish this. It lets you remap and disable keyboard keys using a virtual keyboard.

get something pointy and painful enough to stick on his altgr key. that way he'll learn not to press it.

Use an app like SharpKeys to map the key to an unused one such as F12 for example.

Znau, great suggestion, but I have feeling my user won't be happy with that.
