I have made an MSI patch to prevent the CTRL+ALT+UP / DOWN / LEFT /RIGHT hotkey(s). It disables the intel regkey for screen rotation (as found in advanced display).

What a nice bloke you are!
Cheers!
THNX!!!
This is just what I was looking for!!![]()

Thank you!![]()
I just remove the intel tray application from the registry run location.

I do the same as ittech, if you disable the igfxtray utility from running at startup, it stops all the shortcuts working and gets rid of the trayicon too.
Still good job, as it will patch any machines I may have missed doing this to.
Cheers,
Mike.
is there one for an nvidia chipset that anyone knows of?

Thanks for that, i downloaded it and run the patch... it said it had finished so i did a reboot on the machine and it never worked..
Only needing this as the Tech that done the images forgot to remove it before sending the image up to the server..so trying to save myself some time and do it an easy way instead of going round doing it manually.

I managed to stop this by preventing hkmd.exe being run by students as part of a software restriction policy. This also stopped any other random hot key apps running as well!

Oh Right Hmm, Might try that at some point.

Some graphics cards give an option to access the display control panel by right-clicking the mouse on the desktop. To get rid of this, open REGEDIT then browse to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - DIRECTORY - BACKGROUND - SHELLEX - CONTEXTMENUHANDLERS
The only entry should be "New" (to create a new folder or document)
Same experience here... It doesn't work for me using Win2k3... Looking at it, it seems it's a CC3 based MSI which might explain the issue.
Thanks to everyone else for the pointer though...

Ah so thats why it dont work then..thanks for that i never knew..
Anyhow will try some of the other things that people have said.
Cheers
James.
Thanks for the scrren rotation fix. But the kids can still rtate by right clicking on the desktop. Using graphics properties.
