Disable Intel Hotkeys

[enjay]

I'd like to disable the Intel graphics hotkeys, as the Little Darlings have discovered the keyboard shortcut to rotate the screen. At my last school / with earlier versions of Intel graphics, this could be achieved by removing the igfxhk.exe from the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry, however this version isn't listed there. I can stop it on a per-machine basis by setting the Intel Graphics HD Control Panel Service to "manual", but I'd prefer to do this by Policy.

 

Any ideas?

There is a registry entry that disables them as I have done it.

 

I'll try and dig it oit

HKCU\Software\Intel\Display\igfxcui\Hotkeys

 

New DWord "Enable" and set to 0

Almost there. If I manually add the key, it immediately disables the hotkeys, but it isn't going in via GPO (I did have to manually create the path, as it isn't present on the server, but that shouldn't matter should it?)

You can do its via gpo.

 

I think you can also disable the Intel software via gpo which stops them doing this.

Just via gpo pushing out reg key

Just thought I would add to this just in case someone stumbles upon this issue in the future as I've been working on this today. I got it working using a combination of Software Restriction Policies and updating registry for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER".

 

Software Restriction:

 

Type: Hash

Security: Disallowed

 

C:\Windows\System32\HKCMD.exe

C:\Windows\System32\IGFXTRAY.exe

C:\Windows\System32\IGFXCFG.exe

 

Registry

 

HKCU\Software\Intel\Display\igfxcui\HotKeys *Prevents Hotkeys such as CTRL ALT and arrow rotating the screen.*

 

Value Name: Enable

REG_DWORD: 0

 

HKCU\Software\Intel\Display\igfxcui\igfxtray\TrayIcon *Removes Intel menu from tray so kiddies cant re-enable hotkeys*

Value Name: ShowTrayIcon

Reg_DWORD:0

See if this helps...

 

Put in notepad and save as a .REG file. And use a .BAT file to call the .REG file as a startup script in a GPO

 

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\igfxcui]

 

For BAT

 

@echo off

%windir%\regedit.exe /s \\FQDN\netlogon\FileName.reg
