HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout 

Right-click “Keyboard Layout,” select “New,” and then click “Binary Value.”

Although the name of the value is arbitrary, you should choose something memorable in case you have to find it again and make any changes. For example, you could name it “Insert Remap.”

Double-click the value, and then set the value data to the following:

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 52 E0 00 00 00 00

The order is important here. It tells the OS how to handle the remap and what to do when you press the key.

The first 16 zeroes act as the header and will remain set to all zeroes. You can ignore these.

The next hexadecimal number specifies how many remaps are in the value plus one—the null entry at the end—followed by six more zeroes.

The next two digits are the scan code to the key to which we want Windows to remap the Insert key. In this case, we set it to do nothing (00 00).

After that, the following scan code is the Insert key (52 E0).

Finally, the last eight zeroes signify the null entry and the end.

As long as you follow the scheme above, you can map multiple keys with a single value.

First, increment the “02.”

Then, type both the scan code for the remapped key and the default key before the null entry (the final eight zeroes). //

If you’d rather not edit the Windows Registry, you can download our Disable Insert Key registry hack. Just open the ZIP file, double-click “DisableInsertKey.reg,” and then click “Yes” when prompted to add the information to your registry.
