I had forgotten about that dammed web browser button as I never use it.  It
doesn't show up on most keyboard testing software I know about it. From
what I've gathered it's not even part of the regular keyboard and there is
no way to map it. Thank you all for helping me remember that button, and if
the forums I've searched are right there is no way to disable it properly.

Thank you all so much for the help. if any one has any more ideas on a fix
let me know. Thanks!
