Disable the activation of the menu bar when Alt is pressed in Windows 7
I've been using AutoHotkey already, so I added this line to my script and it fixed this annoying behavior in almost all applications:
~LAlt Up:: return
It doesn't work in IE but I don't use IE anyway. :)
BTW, I also killed the annoying start menu popup via:
~LWin Up:: return
~RWin Up:: return
This autohotkey does work for me on Windows 10:
Alt::Return ;Disables the key alt when it's pressed alone
(Zengabor's answer did not work for me).
All the glory to Rohwedder
