I have a ThinkPad T61p that is running Vista 32-bit SP2. I program in Eclipse a lot, and I find that when I try to type the code completion hotkey (Ctrl-Space), I often accidentally press the ThinkPad Zoom combination (Fn-Space). This not only causes the screen to switch to 800x600 resolution, but it swaps ALL my running applications back in, and derails whatever train of thought I had.

Does anyone know a way to disable this particular Fn-key combination?

If this feature is completely useless and you would like to remove it permanently, you can always go to Vista's Control Panel > Programs and Features, and uninstall the Thinkpad Fullscreen Magnifier utility.

That will disable the Fn+Space keyboard combo.

Maybe this thread can help. Here's what they say about it:

If you don't plan to use the feature, you can use Add/Remove Programs to uninstall the ThinkPad FullScreen Magnifier.
