Disabling special keys

[Brian Cluff]

Under system setting go to input devices and then keyboard.  Under the 
keyboard settings click on the advanced tab and then check Configure 
keyboard options.  Then scroll down to "Position of Compose key" and 
expand that.  Then just select the key you want to use to access the 
special characters "Left Win" if you want it to be the same as it was in 
the past.
