<p><img height="159" src="http://www.form4use.com/insert.jpg" width="200" border="0" /></p><p> </p><p>Its right next to the Backspace button and sometimes I accidentally hit it and dont realise it. Then, I might be typing later on and try and correct a mispelling and start typing and will be actually deleting the words that came after it! Is there a way to disable it?</p>

BEST THREAD EVER!!!!
I hate the fact that my insert key doubles as print screen, and a toggle key is needed to switch them.<br />

I just looked in the Keyboard option on my Control Panel, and I don't see a way to disable one key. But I'm not well versed on comp tricks, so keep hope alive.

That is a good point Wadd makes. If it's that bad, go to Comp USA or Best Buy, look at their keyboards and get the one with the insert key as far away from the backspace as you can.

I mean, its not hard to just pop that key off if you really need to either. Just take a real door key and stick it down there and pry up, fucking thingll pop off in no time

Glue a thumbtack to that key. You'll never accidentally press it ever again. Well...maybe once.

I do the same think all the time! I never thought about prying it off, that's sounds like a plan...

I'm not a big fan of the Pause/Break key... it just sits there, mocking me with it's worthlessness. Fucking 1985 programmers key.

<p>The Pause/Break key never gets in my way, but I wish that the fucking Caps Lock was located near that key, because I hit that by mistake almost as often as the Insert key.</p><p>At work, I have occasionally started using the keyboards number pad instead of the phones keypad before I realise my mistake!</p>

Half the time I hit the Pause key instead. It's a two second thing, but goddammit is it annoying. Also at work my laptop has a pad at the bottom for the mouse that I constantly run into when I hit the space bar. Fuck that thing too.
