Disable Insert Key
Hello - I am running Vista Home Premium and would LOVE to get rid of the Insert key. I am a two-finger typist and hit Insert too often. Any help would be most welcome!

Here's a keyboard remapper that's compatible with Vista, you can swap any key you like.

Here's another one that claims to be Vista compatible:

I'm sorry. The first time I ean that first link, a message said there was no such window in Microsoft. Finally got to a key mapper window, and I have no idea how to use it. I do not want to remap the whole keyboard, just disable the Insert key.

Try the other one, maybe the instructions are clearer.

Disable the Insert Key
In the meantime, I have found a program which disables both the Caps Lock and Insert Keys. Very simple to use and has options to restore use of these keys. Program called CapsUnlock.
It sits in the taskbar.Thanks for all your efforts!
