    Hey all,

    I was hoping someone could help me out. Its just a tiny niggling problem but when I close the lid of my laptop and carry it about while it is on the lid seems to press on the multimedia buttons at the top, which is really annoying. Does anyone know how to disable these buttons? I really dont mind if all are them are disabled. Quite frankly I hate these extra buttons that the attach to laptops now, I never use them. Anyway any replies on this one would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    open run window, issue the command msconfig, go to startup tab, then uncheck LManager. or you can use other software like spybot, to edit your startup configurations.
