IntelliType keyboard "internet" buttons

[snyderj]

Anyone know how I can easily turn on and off the bottons on the top of my IntelliType Pro keyboard? (These are the buttons for internet hot keys, mail, and sound.) My toddler likes to press these buttons while playing computer games and he gets popped out of his application.

Thank you.

OK, I'll answer this one myself

These steps involve creating a registry change file. Do so at your own risk/understanding.

These steps apply to the Microsoft Intellitype Pro 2.1 US/English version.
