The header says most of it. I'm trying to find a way to disable the windows key either through GPO, local policy, or an edit in registry, but Google has been less than helpful.

Open regedit. On the Windows menu, click HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE on Local Machine. Double-click the SystemCurrentControlSetControl folder, and then click the Keyboard Layout folder. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, type in Scancode Map, click REG_BINARY as the Data Type, and then click OK. Type 00000000000000000300000000005BE000005CE000000000 in the Data field, and then click OK. Close Registry Editor and restart the computer.

Try sharpkeys, it's like a Graphical interface to the registry. Whatever change you make is written to the registry, so no daemons, no background processes. just make the change, log off and log in. features include:

re-map keys

disable keys

and it's open source software, and it's tiny.
