I work in a school and would like to disable the use of certain Windows hot key combinations. I can't seem to find an easy way of doing this, and AutoHotKey looks like a promising option.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to stop the Shift-Alt-PrintScreen combination that fires up one of Microsofts Accessibility options (Changes the screen to a High Contrast).

The code I used is shown below:

;
; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x
; Language: English
; Platform: Win9x/NT
; Author: A.N.Other <myemail@nowhere.com>
;
; Script Function:
; Template AutoHotkey script.
;
^A::MsgBox, This function has been disabled
+!PrintScreen::MsgBox, This function has been disabled

The first line (^A...) was a test to see if I could make something work, but the second is the one that should, I think, intercept the Shift-Alt-PrintScreen, but doesn't.

I think I might be able to disable the option via Group Policy or modifying the standard student roaming profile, its just this looks easier and quicker (plus they are bound to find some more!)

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Thanks to Chris and Jonny.

Thanks for that list of keystrokes, Jonny, it will prove useful

I've had a look at turning it off via the Control Panel, and I've included this in the mandatory profile the students load. This will stop it happening when they are logged in, but when its at the login prompt they can still do it

There must be a way of disabling it there, why does .Default spring to mind....

Anyway thanks for your help, it has managed to sort out one other problem we were having...
