If you want to disable more than one, repeat this same one-liner, on a new line, for each additional key.
Then, save the script with “.ahk” extension. This is very important. Saving file as an AHK lets your system know that it’s intended to be compiled and run by AutoHotKey. You should see that the file’s icon has an “H” on it, meaning it’s associated with AutoHotKey.
Now double click on the file to run it. You will see auto hot key icon on your task-bar's system tray. If you want to close the script, find the icon form system tray, right click over it and hit Exit.
