    Anyone know of a way to disable the Windows key (Apple/command key)

    I keep getting the start menu, if I press accidentally press Apple-C or V for copy and paste... Very annoying.

    I used keytweak (http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/) to remap the Apple key to a left control key.

    Now I don't have to keep remembering to switch between cmd-d and control-d, etc.

    Thanks for the recommendation, this works really well.

    Just for anyone else who tries this, confusingly it's key #59 you need to change to 'Left Control' (ignore the picture of the keyboard - the position of the windows key compared to your physical keyboard is irrelevant)

    Parallels - How about 'Map Windows key as Control key' in the preferences?
