Win 10 Task View Disable

[ITGURU]

I have disabled the task view icon but students know they can use windows key and tab to create new desktops.

How does everyone get round this as the student can have websites, games etc open on 1 desktop, but then have their work open on another .

thanks.

Hi ITGURU

 

You will want to use autohotkey as there is no group policy setting for this.

 

Install autohotkey on an admin machine

 

Create a .ahk script in notepad with the following.

 

; Disable Windows Key + Tab

#Tab::Return

 

Run the compiler C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Compiler\Ahk2Exe.exe

 

Select the script, choose a destination for the exe and click convert

 

You now have an exe you can put in a logon script or in the startup folder.

Works - but how do you stop them exiting the tray icon and restoring access - is there a silent switch or something to not show the UI? thanks.

Not to worry I found it in the docs;
