Posted by I hate the annoying insert key on my keyboard. Therefore, I found a way to disable the key within the Windows registry. It is very easy to insert this key with PowerShell so you can automate this when you are deploying a desktop for example.
Add this reg key to the registery, add to notepad and save as .reg file.
