I keep hitting scroll lock by mistake when I do a CTRL-ALT-BREAK. How do I permanently disable it?
- Running Windows XP
- This is a Lenovo laptop if it makes a difference
You can disable the "Scroll Lock" using a key remapper like "SharpKeys" check this link for more info http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/map-any-key-to-any-key-on-windows-xp-vista/
Scancode Map
regedit key with this value: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 46 00 00 00 00 00
- problem solved.

Interesting question. I don't know if Lenovo ships some sort of keyboard-controller but if it does (as for Microsoft desktop keyboards) then there might be some sort of option.
If not, try to poke around your BIOS for some sort to disable the button, as indicated in this (although it is for an HP laptop).
Other that that, maybe someone somewhere made a program that removed the Scroll Lock action.
Try to get some kind of software for re-assigning keyboard keys, and either assign the Scroll Lock key to launch something, or simply completely de-assign it from functioning at all. Easy-peasy.
